New ways of documenting and describing language via electronic media coupled with new ways of distributing the results via the World-Wide Web offer a degree of access to language resources that is unparalleled in history. At the same time, the proliferation of approaches to using these new technologies is causing serious problems relating to resource discovery and resource creation. This articl...

Batched stream processing systems achieve higher throughput than traditional stream processing systems while providing low latency guarantee. Recently, batched stream processing systems tend to be deployed in cloud due to their requirement of elasticity and cost efficiency. However, the performance of batched stream processing systems are hardly guaranteed in cloud because static resource provi...

Cloud computing is hot cake nowadays and primary factor of cloud computing is virtualization. It deals with on demand dynamic resource allocation for providing reliable and guaranteed services to the consumer. It is based on pay-as-you-use model to public. The tasks of resource allocation are meeting customer demands and application requirements. To get more efficient resources from cloud envir...

Resource management and scheduling of distributed, data-driven applications in a Grid environment are challenging problems. Although significant results were achieved in the past few years, the development and the proper deployment of generic, reliable, standard components present issues that still need to be completely solved. Interested domains include workload management, resource discovery,...

Resource availability can affect the coevolutionary dynamics between host and parasites, shaping communities and hence ecosystem function. A key finding from theoretical and in vitro studies is that host resistance evolves to greater levels with increased resources, but the relevance to natural communities is less clear. We took two complementary approaches to investigate the effect of resource...

The challenges faced by mobile and distributed applications include the ability to discover and negotiate for the resources required for execution. The NOMAD (Negotiated Object Mobility, Access and Deployment) system is a middleware platform that provides an infrastructure to support applications constructed of mobile code. This paper describes the NOMAD mechanisms for resource discovery and ne...

Radio resource management is one of the key ways for providing quality-of-service (QoS) to users in wireless networks. In this paper, we propose a utility-based radio resource management scheme for mobile multimedia DS-CDMA systems. The algorithm is aiming at the maximization of the system overall utilities. In order to reduce the computational complexity, the radio resource management is decom...

Resource Federations aim at providing access to information and communication technology (ICT) resources across the boundaries of administrative domains. This is of interest today as modern societies are concerned about ICT infrastructure energy consumption and need to improve the way ICT resources are provisioned and maintained. This paper describes a concept and prototype implementation for r...

An efficient resource allocation is one of the greatest challenges in wireless cellular communication. The resource allocation schemes avoid wastage of resources by allocating resources to a mobile terminal over a short period of time, providing quality of service over wireless networks is the most stressing point for service providers. In general a high degree of sharing is efficient, but requ...

Accurate demand forecasting combined with resource planning is critical to a company s performance and profitability. This paper describes ARMS (automated resource management system), an integrated system developed for the customer service operations of British Telecommunications plc to help with the operational/tactical planning and deployment of the company s 20,000-strong field engineer work...
