This paper presents a review of the literature on dynamic pricing models in management science. We discuss monopolistic and competitive situations, with an emphasis on applications in different contexts. We also describe the main development perspectives of this literature.

Power consumption of electronic devices has become a serious concern in the recent years. Power efficiency is necessary to lengthen the battery lifetime in the portable systems, as well as to reduce the operational costs and the environmental impact of stationary systems. Two new approaches that enable systems to save power by adapting to changes in environment are proposed: dynamic power manag...

This paper presents techniques for dynamic load balancing in heterogeneous computing environments. That is, the techniques are designed for sets of machines with varying processing capabilities and memory capacities. These methods can also be applied to homogenous systems in which the effective compute speed or memory availability is reduced by the presence of other programs running outside the...

Application owners are typically concerned about getting the best performance at the lowest cost. When the workload demand for an application is dynamic, lowering the cost necessitates dynamic management of the hosting infrastructure (physical servers or virtual machines). An application deployment is often divided into multiple tiers. The frontend tier is usually stateless, and processes incom...
