Abstract:

The real estate industry is undergoing changes. Licensing of Real Estate Managers to ensure competence has in recent years been studied and proposed. Standardization through ISO certification has been studied for property management and studies identified a possible need for standardization. However, the author of this essay not encountered Lean or practices from other sectors applied nor widely investigated in the property sector. Simple efficiency and cost saving measures have most likely already taken place, much as the effect of the financial crisis. Energy saving measures are required and sought by political and environmental goals. Long-term sustainable thinking is something that is required and is recommended by industry personnel for running an efficient administration. Strategic actions will be important in order to raise revenue or reduce expected future costs. A good planning is essential to deal with the uncertainties associated with property management. Communication, competence and continuity have been shown to be the keys to an efficient operation. By examining the activities and challenges of property management, people have expressed development opportunities in several areas. A possibly necessary development, following one of the report's findings, show that the industry consider itself to be somewhat inferior comparing work for efficiency with other industries. Therefore there is a relevance of a survey of industry philosophies, in this case Lean. This work aims to disclose Lean and to investigate and analyze some of the industry's organizational challenges. Several interesting results have been obtained within the work with this paper. A relatively large proportion of respondents who participated in the survey believe that there is a positive effect of greater use of philosophies such as Lean - a perception that increases as Lean knowledge held by the respondent increases. Here, studies also show a spread depending on the position of the respondent, within the company and within the industry. For example: In questions about work concerning efficiency improvements and development opportunities.
Fastighetsbranschen genomgår idag till viss del förändringar och utvecklas. Auktorisation av förvaltare för att säkerställa kompetens har under de senare åren undersökts och föreslagits. En standardisering genom ISO certifiering har undersökts för fastighetsförvaltningens del och identifierat ett möjligt behov av standardisering. Däremot har författaren till denna uppsats inte stött på Lean eller metoder från andra sektorer tillämpade eller i större utsträckning undersökta inom fastighetsförvaltning. Många enkla effektiviserings- och kostnadsbesparingsåtgärderna har redan tagit plats, mycket som effekt av finanskrisen. Energibesparingsåtgärder krävs och eftersträvas i politiska och miljömässiga mål. Ett långsiktigt hållbart tänkande är någonting som krävs och förordas av branschaktiva för att driva en effektiv förvaltning. Strategiska åtgärder blir viktiga för att kunna höja intäkter eller minska förväntade framtida kostnader. En bra planering är viktig för att hantera de osäkerheter som är förknippade med fastighetsförvaltning. Kommunikation, kompetens och kontinuitet har visats vara nycklar till en effektiv verksamhet. Genom att undersöka verksamheten och utmaningar för fastighetsförvaltning har personer uttryckt utvecklingsmöjligheter inom flera områden. En möjligtvis nödvändig utveckling då en av rapportens upptäckter visar på att branschen anser sig vara lite sämre vad gäller effektiviseringsarbete än andra. Därför finns en relevans av undersökning en av industrins filosofier, i detta fall Lean. Inom ramen för detta arbete får avses att upplysa om Lean och undersöka samt analysera några av branschens organisationsmässiga utmaningar. Flera intressanta resultat har erhållits i arbetet. En relativt stor del av respondenter som deltagit i undersökningen tror på positiva effekter av ökad användning av filosofier som Lean - En uppfattning som ökar när vetskapen om Lean hos de svarande ökar. Undersökningar visar även på en spridning beroende på position inom företagen, dels inom jämförelse av effektiviseringsarbete och dels inom var utvecklingsmöjligheterna anses finnas.

Abstract:

Real estate is believed to have oscillational patterns and lags from business fluctuation. Leading indicators and certain lags of each cycle enable some degree of forecasting possibility but in the same time increase risk of irrational expectation among real estate companies. Not only the risks from fluctuation and expectation, but also risks from business operation and services should be considered in their risk management. Real estate management company may have different types and degree of risk compared to individual investors. The management of risk of this business operation is also different between sizes of firms, scope of services, geographical location, etc. We hereby examined the risk management of small real estate management companies, operating and servicing in residential property market within Zurich, Switzerland. These specific investment and geographical areas are distinctive in terms of risk exposure and solutions as they have continuously strong demand, various attractive features and distinctive behaviors. Unlike a real estate investor, the real estate development company emerging within these compelling economic attributes is believed to have very low risk. After the semi-structured interview with some executive representatives of these small firms, the results have revealed high level of risk awareness and actively participation to mitigate all possible risks, notwithstanding low level. Even without a person who is specifically responsible for risk management, risk assessment and evaluation have been done exclusively by their executives facilitated by personal contacts and associated institutions.

Abstract:

The Sutherland estate in the north of Scotland was one of the most famous, or infamous, of all Highland estates. Despite its high profile, only limited use has been made of the principal source for its study: the huge collection of estate records deposited in the National Library of Scotland and Staffordshire County Record Office. Historians of late nineteenth century Highland history have instead tended to rely on newspaper and other published accounts. The present study tries to set the Sutherland estate into its Highland context, politically, financially and organisationally. Of course, the ducal family’s vast fortune, independent from the Sutherland estate, sets them apart from most other Highland landowners and allowed for a more experimental approach in addressing the ‘Highland Problem.’ One of these capital-intensive projects, the great land reclamations of the 1870s, is examined in the present study. By looking at the papers of the Cromartie, Macdonald and Sinclair of Ulbster estate papers, the present study can demonstrate that this capital expenditure was highly unusual in a Highland context and tries to address its consequences. This thesis looks at the ranked series of relationships that made the estate function; that between the crofters and the estate, and that between the members of the estate management itself. It has been found that in many cases over the whole period under study, these relationships were fraught with difficulty and disagreement, exacerbated by the turmoil of the Crofters War of the 1880s and continuing land reform in the following decades. The commonly held contemporary view that the Sutherland estate was powerful and monolithic is an essentially false one. The central narrative charted in this thesis is one of decline, like that of many other Highland estates; financially, politically, territorially and as a result, in the estate’s once iron grip over the Sutherland crofters.

Abstract:

In Sweden there is a situation where buildings are constructed at a relatively low rate, while the need for more households is growing relatively quickly. In this thesis the following surveys are conducted; we want to investigate the time required for each process, how the number of building permits for each plan evolve during the process and the number of investigations carried out in connection with the process. The hypothesis is that the developers want to get as many development rights as possible. However, it is the municipality's responsibility to test the suitability of the project in accordance with the law and guidelines which can result in fewer development rights than the builder's preference in the final detailed plan. We have examined 32 plans and concluded that the number of development rights does not drop during the process. Some of the investigations necessary are determined by law, while in some cases by the municipality require various additional studies for a project to be carried through. The survey shows that the number of investigations is approximately 3 per studied plan. The average time spent has been more than 2.5 years for all studied plans. The results of this study indicate that there may be a correlation between the numbers of building permits; the number of investigations and the time required for each process, further studies on this topic are invited.
I Sverige råder en situation där det byggs relativt lite, samtidigt som behovet efter mer bostäder växer relativt snabbt. I detta examensarbete kommer följande undersökningar genomföras; beräkna snittet på tidsåtgången för detaljplaneprocessen, studera utvecklingen av antalet byggrätter i processen från start till laga kraft vunnen plan samt undersöka antalet utredningar som görs i samband med detaljplaneprocessen. Hypotesen är att byggherrarna vill få fram så många byggrätter som möjligt. Det är emellertid kommunens ansvar att pröva projektets lämplighet i enlighet med lagen och de riktlinjer som finns vilket kan resultera i att färre byggrätter än de byggherren önskade vinner laga kraft i den slutgiltiga planen. Vi har enligt ett visst urval granskat 32 detaljplaner och kommit fram till att antalet byggrätter inte sjunker under processens gång. Vissa av utredningar som krävs är lagstadgade, medan det i vissa fall från kommunens sida krävs olika extra utredningar för att ett projekt skall drivas igenom. Snittet för tidsåtgången har blivit dryga 2,5 år för alla studerade planer. Undersökningen visar att antalet utredningar är cirka 3,37 per studerad detaljplan. Resultatet av denna undersökning pekar på att det kan finnas ett samband mellan antalet byggätter, antalet utredningar och tidsåtgången, varför vidare studier i ämnet uppmanas.

Abstract:

FUNDAÇÃO PETROBRÁS DE SEGURIDADE SOCIAL
O modelo de monitoração, registro e valoração de investimentos, adotado por investidores institucionais em países desenvolvidos e em especial o americano, juntamente com todos os seus agregados financeiros - índices de bolsas, indicadores de performance, precificação de ativos, ratings, standards, etc...- é sem dúvida um forte elemento direcionador e influenciador dos modelos adotados no Brasil para administração de carteiras de investimento. Surgiu no próprio mercado americano, após o término da recessão do inicio dos anos 90, uma profunda remodelagem dos instrumentos, veículos, indicadores de performance e standards dos investimentos de base imobiliária, que até então seguiam seus próprios e diversificados padrões, desvinculados dos modelos propalados e adotados pelo mercado financeiro. O conhecimento dos modelos de gestão adotados por investidores institucionais brasileiros, em especial os fundos de pensão é básico para se desenhe uma nova estratégia futura de alocação e respectiva gestão de recursos em carteiras de base imobiliária de investidores institucionais. O foco do presente trabalho é dar início a este processo de conhecimento pela identificação e interpretação dos principais fatores que modelam a gestão imobiliária dos fundos de pensão brasileiros, propondo a partir daí algumas reflexões iniciais sobre estes fatores e por conseguinte sobre estes modelos, visando padronizações, aperfeiçoamentos e um maior alinhamento com práticas já consagradas em mercados mais desenvolvidos e eficientes.
It is common knowledge that the models of monitoring, registering and valuating investments, accepted by institutional investors in many developed countries, especially the US - together with financial ratios adopted in the stock market, in assets price evaluation and performance, in risk ratings, in account standards - have great influence in the models implemented by investment portfolio managers in Brazil. After the recession in the beginning of 1990 s, took place in the US Real Estate market a major restructure of Real Estate instruments, vehicles, performance indices, and standards. The Real Estate community agreed that their market could no longer have dissimilar and diverse methods for measuring and evaluating Real Estate assets if compared with those used currently by the financial market. Knowing and understanding the relationship between models adopted by brazilian institutional investors and the positioning of pension funds when allocating resources to real state, is fundamental to trace any new future allocation and management strategy for real state investments by institutional investors. The main purpose of this paper is to begin this process of knowledge by identifying and interpreting the main factors that model the real estate portfolio management adopted by Brazilian pension funds, followed by some reflexion over those factors and conseqüently over those models, mainly focused on standardization and refinement of such current models, and also on aligning current practices to those already approved and implemented by more developed and efficient markets.

Abstract:

This thesis charts a research journey through the disciplines of waste chemistry, environmental risk assessment, policy analysis and corporate risk governance since award of the candidate's PhD in 1990. The insights gained present a distinctive perspective on resource and environmental risk management - assessments of risk must reflect our understanding of the science and evidence that supports them; and the protection of public and environmental health, as an overarching motive, requires greater prominence if the confidence of citizens in the Government and industry handling of risk is to be secured. Waste management is risk management and without an understanding of the fundamental science and engineering of wastes and how they behave in the environment, process technologies for their treatment can not be optimised, nor regulatory oversight designed properly to protect public health and the environment. The candidate's research on the chemical characterisation of complex wastes and their interaction with soils, waters and air, offers a more optimistic assessment of these risks, at least within developed nations. This said, technical assessments of risk are insufficient, in isolation, to secure the confidence of communities, investors, or the wider citizenry. The motives and values of process operators and regulators that oversee operations are as critical as technical demonstrations of environmental safety. The recent contributions in this thesis examine organisational competencies in preventative risk management, specifically within the water sector as it responds to international calls for improved risk governance. In concert, the candidate's contributions and practical achievements in resource and environmental risk management reported here represent a unique and substantive body of problem-oriented research, directed at reconciling societal unease about waste with our responsibilities for its safe management. Significant insights are made on the reuse of hazardous and carbonaceous wastes, on the characterisation, fate and transport of hydrocarbons in the environment, on the practice of environmental risk assessment and the organisational competencies required to manage risk to the levels of stakeholder confidence expected in the 21st century.

Abstract:

Since the financial- and real estate crisis in 1990-1993, the Swedish real estate market has changed a lot. Companies that earlier considered themselves as technical-oriented has shifted towards being service-oriented with increased customer focus, which in turn has amplified the competitiveness within the industry. The organizational development in the Swedish real estate business has historically been neglected compared to other industries, but has changed as an effect of the increased competitiveness. There are organizational variations between companies operating on the Swedish real estate market where each company’s perception of optimal organizational structure affects the organizational operations and ultimately the profitability of the firm. This master thesis investigates how organizational differences, in terms of real estate management, between Swedish real estate companies impact the competitiveness of the firm.
Den svenska fastighetsmarknaden har förändrats mycket sedan finans- och fastighetskrisen som ägde rum mellan 1990-1993. Företag som tidigare ansett sig vara teknik-inriktade tvingades ändra sitt fokus till att vara mer service – inriktade, vilket ökade den interna konkurrensen på fastighetsmarknaden. Den organisatoriska utvecklingen har historiskt sett varit eftersatt jämfört med andra branscher men har också förändrats till följd av den ökade konkurrensen. Det finns organisatoriska skillnader mellan fastighetsbolag på den svenska marknaden som speglar varje bolags uppfattning av vad som är ”den ultimata organisationen” som i förlängningen påverkar organisationens struktur och lönsamhet. Denna masteruppsats utreder hur organisatoriska skillnader, vad gäller organisering av fastighetsförvaltning hos svenska fastighetsbolag i sin tur påverkar deras konkurrenskraft.

This dissertation consists of three chapters on topics related to real estate and finance. The first chapter studies the effects of bank competition on bank risk-taking and lending. Using a quasi-experimental design that exploits the exogenous application of bank antitrust laws following bank mergers, I show that bank competition leads to more loans going to larger and safer borrowers. The second chapter shows that housing demand shocks from 2000-2006 are highly correlated the elasticity of housing supply in different regions, and explores the implications of this for research on the effects of housing prices. The third chapter, written with Gregory Howard, proposes a new channel for changes in aggregate housing prices. We show empirically and theoretically that increased demand for housing in inelastic areas led to higher aggregate housing prices from 2000-2006, and quantify the magnitude of this channel.

Abstract:

The globalization of the business community has intensified the competitive business environment. Corporations now face not only national but also international competition. As corporations strive to both survive and grow, they continuously seek new avenues for both top line revenue growth and expense control. Corporate Real Estate (CRE) is a significant component of corporate costs, often cited as being the second largest cost after payrolls. As a result of these competitive pressures and the desire to control real estate costs, Corporate Real Estate Management (CREM) emerged as a recognized management discipline in the 1980s and 1990s. With the relatively recent advent of CRE as a separate management discipline, a wide variety of theories and models have been advanced that seek to explain the practice of CREM leadership, strategy, and performance management (PM). The purpose of this study was to further the development of the CREM discipline by identifying contemporary challenges that CRE leaders face. The study also examined the leadership practices and strategies they use to respond to these challenges, and the methods they use to measure the overall success of their strategies and leadership practices. Recommendations they would make to other CRE leaders to help them achieve success in their organizations conclude the study. The study was conducted as a qualitative phenomenological study. Data was collected from 14 senior CRE leaders by means of semi-structured telephone interviews. Subsequent analysis of the interview data resulted in 49 themes being identified of which 24 were considered major themes. The findings of the study are intended to guide the further development of the practice of CREM.

Full text

Abstract:

The thesis applies the theories of Multi Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) with a constructive research to the environment of real estate portfolio management. The aim of the research is to create a preference model for sorting real estates. There are multiple conflicting and incommensurable criteria involved in MCDA that cause a challenging decision situation for the decision maker. The advantage of using MCDA is decision maker’s ability to learn and understand both his own and others’ values and judgments. These benefits are received by actions such as taking the decision maker’s preferences into account and concerning the decision problem explicitly by structuring and synthesizing the information. Previously, Multi Attribute theories have been successfully applied to the portfolio selection of road pavement and bridge repairing projects, for example. The research was implemented in three sections from which the first one was a theoretical review that sought to present the basics of MCDA by defining the Multi Attribute Value Theory (MAVT) process. After theoretical review followed the data collection and analysis that aimed to identify the guiding criteria for the decision making and the attributes by which the achievement of the criteria being measured. The thesis was outlined to consider only the effect of the property specific endogenous factors. The last section of the study, construction, applies the information got from the previous sections by creating a preference model for the decision making of property portfolio management. The process and value tree described in the study were constructed from the perspective of real estate owners who own properties only as an investment. As a result of the thesis, five criteria were formed by which the sorting of real estates is evaluated. The criteria were: a macro location that seeks to describe the macro environmental development, a micro location that takes a stand on how reachable the real estate is, a contract price that presented the income side of the cash flow, a repairing need that was included because it has a high effect on the outcomes, and the ability to develop which means the capability of a building to produce financial benefits with the development operations. The suggested attributes for the criteria were for macro location the new construction production of the property type in relation to the development of areal GDP, for micro location the transportation time and type from the areal center, for the contract price the average of the contract prices in relation to the area of each rental agreement, for repairing needs the repairing costs got from the long term repairing plan and for ability to develop was seen that best option to measure the achievement of it would be expert opinion. The study did not take a stand on the weights of the criteria nor the value functions of the attributes because it would require focusing on the single real estate investor whereas this thesis was desired to keep on the general level. As a whole, it was concluded that creating a universal model for sorting real estates is not possible because of the unique nature of the weights and value functions. Therefore it would be more appropriate to execute the model constructing process with the case investor. The process described in this study should, however, give readiness to create a preference model for the investors that were in the focus of this work. The preference model formed as a result of the process will propose an interest of sorting based on the endogenous property specific features. However, the model should be used only as an assistance in decision making so that the decision maker would use it to support his decisions
Diplomityö pyrkii konstruktiivisen tutkimuksen avulla soveltamaan monikriteerisiä päätösanalyysiteorioita (Multi Criteria Decision Analysis — MCDA) kiinteistöportfoliohallinnan päätöksentekoon. Teorioita sovelletaan työssä kehittämällä kiinteistöportfoliohallinnan päätöksentekoa avustava malli. MCDA on oppi metodeista ja lähestymistavoista, joissa eri vaihtoehtojen paremmuutta arvioidaan suhteessa päätöksentekijän asettamiin tavoitteisiin. Teorioiden käsittelemien päätösongelmien luonteeseen kuuluvat useat ristiriitaiset ja yhteismitattomat kriteerit, jotka tekevät päätöksenteosta erittäin haasteellista. MCDA:n tuoma arvo päätöksentekoon syntyy sen jäsennellystä ja selkeästä tavasta käsitellä päätösongelmaa, minkä johdosta päätöksentekijä tulee tietoisemmaksi itse päätösongelmasta sekä omista ja muiden sidosryhmien arvoista ja tavoitteista. Monikriteerisiä päätösanalyysiteorioita on sovellettu aiemmin esimerkiksi infrapuolella siltojen kunnossapitoprojektien valintaan. Kehitetyn matemaattisen mallin avulla pystyttiin analyyttisesti arvioimaan kunkin vaihtoehdon hyvyyttä ja poimimaan siltakannasta eniten päätöksentekijän tavoitteita vastaavat kohteet. Tutkimus toteutettiin kolmessa osiossa, joista ensimmäisessä selvitettiin MCDA:n perusteet määrittämällä kirjallisuuskatsauksen avulla päätöksentekijän preferenssejä mallintava MAVT-prosessi. Kirjallisuuskatsauksen jälkeen seurasi työn empiirinen osio, mikä pyrki haastatteluiden avulla selvittämään kiinteistöportfoliohallinnan päätöksentekoa ohjaavat kriteerit ja niiden toteutumista mittaavat attribuutit. Työ keskittyi käsittelemään vain kiinteistökohtaisten sisäsyntyisten tekijöiden vaikutusta kiinteistöportfoliohallintaan. Lopuksi empiriasta saatujen tuloksien pohjalta kuvattiin MAVT prosessi kyseessä olevassa kontekstissa ja kehitettiin esimerkkimalli kiinteistöportfoliohallinnan päätöksenteon tueksi. Esitetty malli on suunnattu yksityisille kiinteistönomistajille, jotka omistavat liike- ja toimistokiinteistöjä vain sijoitusmielessä. Tutkimuksen tuloksena saatiin viisi kiinteistöportfoliohallinnan päätöksentekoa ohjaavaa kriteeriä: makrosijainti, mikrosijainti, sopimushinta, kiinteistön korjaustarpeet ja kiinteistön kehittymiskyky. Sijainti kriteerit pyrkivät huomioimaan sekä makroympäristön kehittymisen että kiinteistön saavutettavuuden. Sopimushinta ja kiinteistön korjaustarpeet puolestaan kuvaavat kiinteistön kassavirran negatiivisen ja positiivisen puolen tärkeimpiä tekijöitä. Kiinteistön kehittymiskyvyllä tarkoitetaan kuinka paljon kehitystoimenpiteillä nähdään saatavan taloudellista hyötyä. Edelle mainittujen kriteereiden attribuuteiksi ehdotettiin makrosijainnille alueellisen BKT:n suhdetta uusiin rakennushankkeisiin, mikrosijainnille keskimääräistä matka-aikaa ja kulkuvälinevaihtoehtoja aluekeskukseen, sopimushinnalle kohteen sopimushintojen neliöillä painotettua keskiarvoa, korjaustarpeille pitkän tähtäimen suunnitelmasta saatavaa korjaustarvearviota ja kiinteistön kehittymiskyvylle asiantuntijan toteuttamaa arviota kiinteistön kehityskelpoisuudesta. Tutkimus ei ottanut kantaa kriteereiden painotukseen tai attribuuttien mittaustulosten pisteyttämiseen, koska työ haluttiin pitää yleisellä tasolla ja edellä mainitut toimenpiteet olisivat vaatineet työn rajaamista koskemaan vain yhtä kiinteistösijoittajaa. Kokonaisuudessaan nähtiin, että yleisen mallin kehittäminen kiinteistöportfoliohallintaan on mahdotonta, johtuen mallissa käytettävien painotusten ja arvofunktioiden yksilöllisestä luonteesta. Tästä johtuen preferenssimallin laadinta olisikin parempi toteuttaa käyttäen vain yhtä kiinteistönomistajaa. Tässä työssä kuvattu prosessi antaa kuitenkin työn kohteena olleille kiinteistönomistajille valmiudet luoda kvantitatiivinen malli oman päätöksenteon tueksi. Prosessin tuloksena saatava malli ehdottaa perustuen kiinteistön sisäsyntyisiin tekijöihin, miten kiinteistöt tulisi lajitella eri salkkuihin. Malli on kuitenkin tarkoitettu vain päätöksentekijän avuksi, ei päätöksentekijäksi

Abstract:

Some rental property owners lack risk management strategies that enable them to budget for sustainable profitability. This study provides rental property owners with risk management strategies for sustainable profitability to maintain business stability during market volatility and create stable, well-maintained housing for tenants. A mini ethnographic case study was conducted to determine the key risk management budgeting strategies rental property owners in the greater Seattle area have used to achieve sustainable profitability for at least 10 years. Enterprise risk management was applied to assess the role risk played in small rental property businesses and budgeting for sustainable profitability. Participant observation, interviews, and document review were conducted with rental property owners who had achieved sustainable profitability for at least 10 years. Data analysis software was leveraged to code the data and identify 4 key risk management budgeting strategies that contributed to sustainable profitability. The rental property owners included these 4 risk management budgeting strategies into their business: incorporating risk identification, response, and monitoring into firm strategy; cultivating a risk management network that effectively enabled them to mitigate risk; risk response to industry regulations; and creating a positive social change impact. Building on the results, 4 models of risk management budgeting were created for rental property owners searching for strategies to achieve sustainable profitability. The rental property owners in the study applied these 4 risk management budgeting strategies to achieve sustainable profitability and contribute to positive social change such as improving the well-being of tenants and communities.

Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 40-41).
The real estate sector accounts for more than a third of global greenhouse gas emissions and potentially provides great opportunity for carbon reduction. Energy efficient and green buildings have a huge potential in transforming the property sector, and investors could benefit from that transformation through the greening of their real estate holdings and investing in green technology real estate developments. My work will further define this opportunity by investigating the real estate industry's relationship to sustainability and global greenhouse gas emissions through perspective of energy markets, demographical changes and different technologies in the energy efficiency sphere. Additionally my thesis will provide summary of research regarding willingness to pay for efficiency and sustainability measures both in the residential and commercial part of the market. Finally I will analyze main factors affecting demand and forces shaping investment opportunity.

Abstract:

Over the last decade, Internet-based services, such as electronic-mail, music-on-demand, and social-network services, have changed the ways we communicate and access information. Usually, the key functionality of such a service is in backend components, which are located in a data center, a facility for hosting computing systems and related equipment. This thesis focuses on two fundamental problems related to the management, dimensioning, and provisioning of such backend components. The first problem centers around resource allocation for a large-scale cloud environment. Data centers have become very large; they often contain hundreds of thousands of machines and applications. In such a data center, resource allocation cannot be efficiently achieved through a traditional management system that is centralized in nature. Therefore, a more scalable solution is needed. To address this problem, we have developed and evaluated a scalable and generic protocol for resource allocation. The protocol is generic in the sense that it can be instantiated for different management objectives through objective functions. The protocol jointly allocates CPU, memory, and network resources to applications that are hosted by the cloud. We prove that the protocol converges to a solution, if an objective function satisfies a certain property. We perform a simulation study of the protocol for realistic scenarios. Simulation results suggest that the quality of the allocation is independent of the system size, up to 100,000 machines and applications, for the management objectives considered. The second problem is related to performance modeling of a distributed key-value store. The specific distributed key-value store we focus on in this thesis is the Spotify storage system. Understanding the performance of the Spotify storage system is essential for achieving a key quality of service objective, namely that the playback latency of a song is sufficiently low. To address this problem, we have developed and evaluated models for predicting the performance of a distributed key-value store for a lightly loaded system. First, we developed a model that allows us to predict the response time distribution of requests. Second, we modeled the capacity of the distributed key-value store for two different object allocation policies. We evaluate the models by comparing model predictions with measurements from two different environments: our lab testbed and a Spotify operational environment. We found that the models are accurate in the sense that the prediction error, i.e., the difference between the model predictions and the measurements from the real systems, is at most 11%.

This work is composed of two contributions. One borrows from the work of Charles Kemp and Joshua Tenenbaum, concerning the discovery of structural form: their model is used to study the Business Week Rankings of U.S. Business Schools, and to investigate how other structural forms (structured visualizations) of the same information used to generate the rankings can bring insights into the space of business schools in the U.S., and into rankings in general. The other essay is purely theoretical in nature. It is a study to develop a model of human memory that does not exceed our (human) psychological short-term memory limitations. This study is based on Pentti Kanerva’s Sparse Distributed Memory, in which human memories are registered into a vast (but virtual) memory space, and this registration occurs in massively parallel and distributed fashion, in ideal neurons.
Este trabalho é composto de duas contribuições. Uma se usa do trabalhode Charles Kemp e Joshua Tenenbaum sobre a descoberta da forma estrutural: o seu modelo é usado para estudar os rankings da revista Business Week sobre escolas de administração, e para investigar como outras formas estruturais (visualizações estruturadas) da mesma informação usada para gerar os rankings pode trazer discernimento no espaço de escolas de negócios nos Estados Unidos e em rankings em geral. O outro ensaio é de natureza puramente teórica. Ele é um estudo no desenvolvimento de um modelo de memória que não excede os nossos (humanos) limites de memória de curto-prazo. Este estudo se baseia na Sparse Distributed Memory (Memória Esparsa e Distribuida) de Pentti Kanerva, na qual memórias humanas são registradas em um vasto (mas virtual) espaço, e este registro ocorre de forma maciçamente paralela e distribuida, em neurons ideais.
