Since the 1976 appointment of the Resource Allocation Working Party (RAWP), health care equity has been an explicit goal of resource allocation within the NHS. According to this principle, health care resources should be geographically distributed to ensure ‘equal opportunity of access to health care for people at equal risk’. RAWP was superseded by the Resource Allocation Group in 1995, which ...

In order to effectively regulate the existing resources, dynamic spectrum access in cognitive radio needs to adopt the effective resource allocation strategies. Multimedia applications require large bandwidth and have to meet the delay constraints while maintaining the data quality. Game theory is emerging as an effective analytical tool for the analysis of available resources and its allocatio...

Cloud Computing allow the users to efficiently and dynamically provision computing resource to meet their IT needs. Companies are able to rent resources from cloud for storage and other computational purposes so that their infrastructure cost can be reduced. Further they can make use of company-wide access to applications based on pay-as-you-go model. Hence there is no need for getting licenses...

BACKGROUND How should HIV and AIDS resources be allocated to achieve the greatest possible impact? This paper begins with a theoretical discussion of this issue, describing the key elements of an "evidence-based allocation strategy". While it is noted that the quality of epidemiological and economic data remains inadequate to define such an optimal strategy, there do exist tools and research wh...

The resource allocation in complex systems needs developing systems as multiagent systems and the negotiation is a usual way to acquire the resources in the needed amounts and at appropriate times. The strategies and tactics depend upon the developed system. The paper analyzes the results in resource allocation and gives an example for distributed computer architecture.

in electronic commerce markets, agents often should acquire multiple resources to fulfil a high-level task. in order to attain such resources they need to compete with each other. in multi-agent environments, in which competition is involved, negotiation would be an interaction between agents in order to reach an agreement on resource allocation and to be coordinated with each other. in recent ...

With the continued increase of speed and capacities of computing devices and the growing needs of people for mobile computing capabilities, allocation of resource plays a vital role in research community. Quality of service (QoS) provisioning in MANETs is an essential component needed to support multimedia and real-time applications. Maximizing the utility of the traffic flow is a challenging p...

Resource allocation is the dynamic allocation and de-allocation of processor cores, memory pages, and various categories of bandwidth to client subcomputations (e.g processes within an operating system) that compete for those resources. Historically, resource allocation has been rather unsystematic, and now the assumptions underlying the traditional strategies no longer hold. The existence of p...
