In classical schedule problems, the actual processing time of a job is fixed constant, but in production process, affected by variety factors, two which are learning effect and resource allocation. this paper, single-machine scheduling problems with allocation time-dependent investigated. The depends on sum normal times previous jobs non-renewable resources. With convex consumption function, go...

BACKGROUND Decreasing hospital length of stay, and so freeing up hospital beds, represents an important cost saving which is often used in economic evaluations. The savings need to be accurately quantified in order to make optimal health care resource allocation decisions. Traditionally the accounting cost of a bed is used. We argue instead that the economic cost of a bed day is the better valu...

Market-oriented reverse auction is an efficient and cost-effective method for resource allocation in cloud workflow systems since it can dynamically allocate resources depending on the supply-demand relationship of the cloud market. However, during the auction the price of cloud resource is usually fixed, and the current resource allocation mechanisms cannot adapt to the changeable market prope...

Ever increasing growth in cellular mobile user population, coupled with scare radio spectrum has put stringent demand on optimization of channel utilization methodology. An efficient channel reuse scheme will ensure maximum availability of idle channels for new and handoff calls. In this paper we study fixed and dynamic channel allocation schemes. An attempt has been made to propose and evaluat...

For a programmable I/O device controller, the allocation of device parameters on I/O registers affects the code size and execution time of its associated I/O device driver. In traditional design flow, the development of device drivers can not begin until the allocation is fixed. This paper presents a new design methodology that allows a designer to seek an allocation that reduces the software o...

We consider T -round elimination tournaments where players have fixed resources instead of cost functions. We show that players always spend a higher share of their resources in early than in later rounds in a symmetric equilibrium. Equal resource allocation across T rounds takes place only in the winner-take-all case. Applications for career paths, elections, and sports are discussed.

Cost efficiency measures the cost of resource by output production. While conventional cost efficiency models set targets separately for each DMU, There are cases where the Central decision making is seeking the above targets, and at the same tries to obtain the target of Min cost efficiency for the total consumption. in this paper we consider that there is a centralized decision maker (DM). In...

Current fixed grid wavelength routed networks are limited in terms of spectral efficiency due to the rigid nature of wavelength assignment. We propose the Flexible Optical WDM (FWDM) network architecture for flexible grid optical networks in which the constraint on fixed spectrum allocation to channels is removed and network resources can be dynamically provisioned with an automated control pla...
