Capacity Allocation in Flexible Production Networks: Theory and Applications

CLAMP: differentiated capacity allocation in access networks

This paper presents a solution for providing differentiated capacity allocation in an access network. The system is based on CLAMP, an algorithm that can differentiate between flows sharing the same FIFO queue. The system is suitable for small access networks, such as those based on DSL and HFC modems and wireless LAN access points. The deployment of CLAMP is completely contained within the acc...

Network Capacity Allocation in Service Overlay Networks

We study the capacity allocation problem in service overlay networks (SON)s with state-dependent connection routing based on revenue maximization. We formulate the dimensioning problem as one in profit maximization and propose a novel model with several new features. In particular the proposed methodology employs an efficient approximation for state dependent routing that reduces the cardinalit...

Flexible Resource Allocation for Optical Networks

Motivated by flexible resource allocation in emerging network technologies, we study the following variant of the classic storage allocation problem. We are given a set of flexible axis-parallel rectangles (corresponding to activities), and a linear resource. Each rectangle has a maximum possible height, as well as the profit accrued per allocated unit of the resource. The goal is to feasibly a...
