The recent trends in electrical power distribution system operation and management are aimed at improving system conditions in order to render good service to the customer. The reforms in distribution sector have given major scope for employment of distributed generation (DG) resources which will boost the system performance. This paper proposes a heuristic technique for allocation of distribut...

Power conservation and extending survival time are critical issues in mobile ad hoc networks, as the nodes are powered by battery only. In this paper, according to the mobility of nodes, the survival-time-based adaptive replica allocation algorithm is proposed. In the survival-time-based dynamic adaptive replica allocation algorithm, based on the locality of data access, the replica allocation ...

EEcient utilization of processing resources in a large, multiuser parallel computer depends on processor allocation algorithms that minimize system fragmentation. We propose three processor allocation algorithms for the k-ary n-cube class of parallel architectures, which includes the hypercube and multidi-mensional torus. The k-ary Partner strategy is a conventional contiguous processor allocat...

The explosive growth of wireless network users and the existence of various wireless services have demanded high throughput as well as user’s quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees. In accordance with, this paper proposes a novel resource allocation scheme improving both the capability of QoS-provisioning for multiple users and the overall data throughput. Towards this, the modified resource alloc...

In this paper, a novel initial videos allocation scheme and a dynamic load balancing strategy are proposed for a distributed video storage server in order to increase the availability and reduce operation cost. The initial allocation scheme determines the allocation of video replicas on the servers to achieve static load balance and to obtain a configuration for efficient dynamic load adjustmen...

The invisible hand theorem relates nothing about the attributes of the optimal allocation vector. In this paper, we identify a convex cone of functions such that order on vectors of exogenous heterogeneity parameters induces component-wise order on allocation vectors for firms in an efficient market. By use of functional analysis, we then replace the vectors of heterogeneities with asymmetries ...

The multi-agent resource allocation problem is the negotiation of a set of resources among a population of agents, in order to maximize a social welfare function. The purpose of this study is the definition of the agent behavior which leads, if possible, to an optimal resource allocation at the end of the negotiation process as an emergent phenomenon. This process can be based on any kind of co...
