In Cloud computing, private cloud is a model where resource sharing is becoming more popular now-a-days. The importance of resource sharing has lead to the development of many algorithms. The existing works in the field of resource sharing used many optimization techniques. The two techniques namely Service Composition Optimal Selection (SCOS) and Optimal Allocation of Computing Resources (OACR...

This paper presents a resource-constrained scheduling scheme and a latency-constrained scheduling scheme that minimize power consumption for the case when the resources operate at multiple voltages. The resource-constrained scheduling reduces the power consumption by maximally utilizing resources operating at reduced voltages and, at the same time, reducing the latency. The latency-constrained ...

Previous work on parallel database systems has paid little attention to the interaction of asynchronous disk prefetching and processor parallelism. This paper investigates this issue for scan operations on shared–memory multiprocessors. Two heuristic methods are developed for the allocation of processors and memory to optimize either the speedup or the benefit/cost ratio of database scan operat...

Many countries have started to develop policy programs for the sustainable use of natural resources. Indicators and targets can cover both a territorial and a life-cycle-wide global perspective. This article focuses on how a safe operating space for global material resource use can be outlined based on existing economy-wide material flow indicators. It reflects on issues such as scale and syste...

background: in order to provide guidance on the efficient allocation of health resources when handling public health emergencies in the future, the study evaluated the h1n1 influenza prevention and control program in hubei province of china using cost-benefit analysis. methods: the costs measured the resources consumed and other expenses incurred in the prevention and control of h1n1. the assum...
