This paper investigates the centralized resource allocation with centralized structures by using the data envelopment analysis-ratio (DEA-R) models. To this end, it proposes a method to determine the resource allocation of centralized structures such that the ratio of inputs to outputs are minimized.

The chapters in this volume identify steps that governments of resource-rich countries can take to increase the benefi ts that their countries derive from their holdings of oil, gas, and other resources. The focus on governments is natural: these actions will work only if governments lead the way. We believe these reforms should attract the support of their populations. Moreover, in some cases,...

since software systems play an important role in applications more than ever, the security has become one of the most important indicators of softwares.cloud computing refers to services that run in a distributed network and are accessible through common internet protocols. presenting a proper scheduling method can lead to efficiency of resources by decreasing response time and costs. this rese...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a non-parametric method for assessing relative efficiency of decision-making units (dmus). every single decision-maker with the use of inputs produces outputs. these decision-making units will be defined by the production possibility set. resource allocation to dmus is one of the concerns of managers since managers can employ the results of this process to all...
