In this report, an integrated system approach to dynamic resource allocation is proposed. Some of the problems in dynamic resource allocation and the relationship of these problems to system structures are examined. A general dynamic resource allocation scheme is presented. A hierarchical system architecture which dynamically maps between processor structure and programs at multiple levels of i...

Temperature is well known to affect many biological and ecological traits, especially in ectotherms. From a physiological point of view, temperature is also positively correlated to metabolism and is often associated with an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. It has recently been suggested that ROS play a role in lifespan and resource allocation. However, only a few authors h...

In this paper we expand on our previous efforts [1,2,3] to evaluate strategies for improving tracking performance of a multi-sensor surveillance system. The quality of tracking performance is based on two measures: (i) The Mean Track Quality (MTM) and (ii) Total Expected Number of Misses (TEM). Five strategies of resource allocation were considered based on (a) local versus coordinated, (b) ded...

Business Process Management Systems (BPMS) is a complex information system that provides designing, administrating, and improving the business processes. Task allocation to human resources is one of the most important issues which should be managed more efficiently in BPMS. Task allocation algorithms are defined in order to meet the various policies of organizations. The most important of these...
