e-CoBRA (electronic Contract-Based Resource Allocation): an Architecture to On-Demand Resource Allocation Management Based on Contracts
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents the e-Cobra architecture, an on-demand resource allocation system based on service contracts, developed to address some of the problems in the deployment and management of network based application services. The architecture supports business rules representation extracted from negotiated contracts between the involved parts (providers and customers). From these contracts, policies are extracted and applied to the system in order to allow on-demand resource allocation to happen according to the submitted contracts’ requirements. The proposed architecture covers not only the on-demand allocation task, but price, violations and penalties aspects. The business rules incorporated into the system model represent policies extracted from service contracts. Therefore, the present work applies the concepts contained in SLA and in the policy based management fields, as well as, extends them.

Cycle Time Optimization of Processes Using an Entropy-Based Learning for Task Allocation
Cycle time optimization could be one of the great challenges in business process management. Although there is much research on this subject, task similarities have been paid little attention. In this paper, a new approach is proposed to optimize cycle time by minimizing entropy of work lists in resource allocation while keeping workloads balanced. The idea of the entropy of work lists comes fr...

متن کاملPerformance-Based Resource Allocation in Higher Education: A Black Box Containing the Paradox of Increasing Efficiency and Decreasing Productivity
To cope with escalating financial resource limitations from both expanding demands for higher education and experiencing a relatively reduction in public support, higher education units have profoundly adopted a performance-based resource allocation mechanism in recent years. Nevertheless, empirical evaluation findings show that the presumed improvement in performance has not been fulfilled. Us...
متن کاملImproving Agent Performance for Multi-Resource Negotiation Using Learning Automata and Case-Based Reasoning
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 ...
