in this paper, we develop a capacitated location-covering model considering interval values for demand and service parameters. we also consider flexibility on distance standard for covering demand nodes by the servers. we use the satisfaction degree to represent the constraint of service capacity. the proposed model belongs to the class of mixed integer programming models. our model can be redu...

We study the online allocation problem under a roommate market model introduced in [Chan et al., 2016]. Consider a fixed supply of n rooms and a list of 2n applicants arriving online in random order. The problem is to assign a room to each person upon her arrival, such that after the algorithm terminates, each room is shared by exactly two people. We focus on two objectives: (1) maximizing the ...

This work attempts to study and offer a solution to an important resource allocation problem for explicitly parallel computing architectures. The problem of buffer space allocation in distributed on-chip memories is the key to lowering configuration (re-programming) overhead for systems such as SCORE [2] and enabling efficient virtualization of hardware resources essential for exploitation of s...

this paper proposes a bi-objective model for the facility location problem under a congestion system. the idea of the model is motivated by applications of locating servers in bank automated teller machines (atms), communication networks, and so on. this model can be specifically considered for situations in which fixed service facilities are congested by stochastic demand within queueing frame...

System designs, optimizing resource allocation to organization units, is still being considered as a complicated problem especially when there are multiple inputs and outputs related to a unit. The algorithm presented here will divide the frontiers obtained with DEA. In this way, we investigate a new approach for resource allocation.
