This paper studies the effect of rerouting for augmenting aggregate based resource allocation in the trade-off between overhead and utilization. Aggregation is a common approach to address the scalability issue in resource allocation. However, resources committed in bulk may be under utilized while other resource requests are being turned down for lack of resources in some shared links. The aim...

Cost efficiency measures the cost of resource by output production. While conventional cost efficiency models set targets separately for each DMU, There are cases where the Central decision making is seeking the above targets, and at the same tries to obtain the target of Min cost efficiency for the total consumption. in this paper we consider that there is a centralized decision maker (DM). In...

In MANET, mobile nodes communicate with each other using the wireless channel where transmission takes place with significant interference. The wireless medium used in MANET is a shared resource used by all the nodes available in MANET. Packet reserving is one important resource management scheme which controls the allocation of bandwidth among multiple flows through node cooperation in MANET. ...

This paper proposes a new resource allocation model which is based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) and concerns systems with several homogeneous units operating under supervision of a central unit. The previous studies in DEA literature deal with reallocating/allocating organizational resource to improve performance or maximize the total amount of outputs produced by individual units. In tho...
