This article examines recent research on approaches to community-based environmental and natural resource management and reviews the commonalities and differences between these interdisciplinary and multistakeholder initiatives. To identify the most effective characteristics of Community-based natural resource management (CBNRM), I collected a multiplicity of perspectives from research teams an...

This paper presents a resource management framework for providing predictable quality of service (QoS) in Web servers. The framework allows Web server and proxy operators to ensure a probabilistic minimal QoS level, expressed as an average request rate, for a certain class of requests (called a service), irrespective of the load imposed by other requests. A measurement-based admission control f...

Two broader categories of the services are introduced in the paradigm of WiMAX. In IEEE 802.16 standard has added these services and called them as Constant Bit Rate (CBR) and Variable Bit Rate (VBR). Both of these services designed for real time and non real time traffic. As per literature available there is a gap to provide additional resources to fulfill the required service class from the u...

Radio resource control is one of the key technologies for providing quality-of-service (QoS) in wireless communication systems, where power and data rate are schedulable resources. In this paper, we propose a utility-based resource control scheme for multimedia traffic in the downlink of DS-CDMA systems. The goal is to achieve the social optimal resource utilization. Fairness is guaranteed by a...

Multiagent resource allocation is a growing area of research at the interface of Economics and Computer Science. It encapsulates many different aspects from resource allocation raging from economical, game theoretical, to purely computational. This work concerns the computational aspect of resource allocation, particularly, the complex combinatorial problems. Besides the extensive theoretical w...

In this paper we propose the double auction allocation models for computational grids, and two double auction algorithms for resource allocation: Single Price Double Auction algorithm (SPDA), and Multiple Attribute Double Auction algorithm (MADA). The fairness and comprehensive performance are introduced into the traditional double auction models to evaluate impact of price, speed and storage o...

In distributed systems shared by multiple tenants, effective resource management is an important pre-requisite to providing quality of service guarantees. Many systems deployed today lack performance isolation and experience contention, slowdown, and even outages caused by aggressive workloads or by improperly throttled maintenance tasks such as data replication. In this work we present Retro, ...

Efficient resource reservations play a vital role in providing acceptable performance and Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees (e.g., timeliness) in wireless real-time applications such as mobile media streaming. However, the computation of the resource requirements of a wireless node have been widely ignored so far, which has often resulted in degraded support for real-time traffic and overprov...
