Resource allocation. Some problems in applying the national formula to area and district revenue allocations.

Pricing the Cloud: Resource Allocations, Fairness, and Revenue

As more businesses use the cloud for their computing needs, datacenter operators are increasingly pressed to perform effective and fair allocation in this multi-resource, multi-tenant setting. The presence of multiple resources allows an operator to offer different types of pricing strategies (e.g., bundled vs. unbundled) that can have different effects on its revenue. Pricing also affects the ...

AIRLINE STOCHASTIC CAPACITY ALLOCATION BY APPLYING REVENUE MANAGEMENT

To formulate a single-leg seat inventory control problem in an airline ticket sales system, the concept and techniques of revenue management are applied in this research. In this model, it is assumed the cabin capacity is stochastic and hence its exact size cannot be forecasted in advance, at the time of planning. There are two groups of early-reserving and late-purchasing customers demanding t...

Maximum revenue-oriented resource allocation in cloud

Cloud computing is distinguished from such conventional computing paradigms as grid computing and cluster computing in that it provides a practical business model for customers to use the resources remotely. It is natural for service providers to allocate the pooled cloud resources dynamically among the differentiated customers to maximise their revenue. This paper addresses the problem of the ...

Maximizing revenue in symmetric resource allocation

Consumers of resources in realistic applications (e.g., web, multimedia) typically derive diminishing-return utilities from the amount of resource they receive. A resource provider who is deriving an equal amount of revenue from each satisfied user (e.g., by online advertising), can maximize the number of users by identifying a satisfaction threshold for each user, i.e., the minimal amount of r...
