Full textIn this work we examine a state constrained resource allocation model a with finite time horizon. Therefore, we use the necessary conditions of the Pontrjagin's Maximum Principle to find candidates for the solution and verify them later on using the sufficient conditions given by the duality concept of Klötzler. Moreover, we proof that the solution of the corresponding infinite horizon model does not fulfill the overtaking criterion of Weizsäcker.

Full textRecently, massive migration of enterprise applications to the cloud has been recorded in the Information Technology (IT) world. The number of cloud providers offering their services and the number of cloud customers interested in using such services is rapidly increasing. However, one of the challenges of cloud computing is Quality-of-Service management which denotes the level of performance, reliability, and availability offered by cloud service providers. Quality-of-Service is fundamental to cloud service providers who find the right tradeoff between Quality-of-Service levels and operational cost. In order to find out the optimal tradeoff, cloud service providers need to comply with service level agreements contracts which define an agreement between cloud service providers and cloud customers. Service level agreements are expressed in terms of quality of service (QoS) parameters such as availability, scalability performance and the service cost. On the other hand, if the cloud service provider violates the service level agreement contract, the cloud customer can file for damages and claims some penalties that can result in revenue losses, and probably detriment to the provider’s reputation. Thus, the goal of any cloud service provider is to meet the Service level agreements, while reducing the total cost of offering its services.

Full textWhen a major disaster occurs, such as an earthquake or fire, the efficiency of the rescue workers depends of the coordination between the different emergency teams. This coordination needs reliable communication equipments. In such a situation, however, the infrastructure for wireless communication is generally destroyed or unusable. It is therefore necessary to find adapted communication tools for the rescue workers known as opportunistic networks. These networks pose new challenging problems such as, for instance, resource allocation which is particularly important for the QoS satisfaction. In the first part of our thesis, we addressed the problem of resource allocation in ad hoc networks using the TDMA access mechanism. Our solutions aim to perform a fair distribution of channels and take into account an interference area twice as large as the transmission range. Evaluation of new policies for opportunistic networks deployed in disaster areas requires new mobility models. We developed a novel mobility model dedicated to the movement of rescue workers. Our model includes the group mobility and some characteristics of human mobility. It also incorporates a mechanism to circumvent obstacles presents in the simulation area

Full textSouth Africa has high levels of social need which are steadily growing. While the third sector is large and contributes substantially to social service provision, it together with government is seemingly incapable of providing adequate social services, particularly in the more poverty-stricken rural areas of the country. Among other, at the root of the third sector’s inability to adequately serve the needy, is a lack of funding caused by poor funding policies and uninformed financial resource allocation decision making. As such, this study set out to develop an automated financial resource allocation decision making model that would provide extensive organised data to better inform the allocation decision making process – the first component of the study. It was also purposed to provide a range of otherwise lacking empirical data on the third sector to determine service and staffing norms, patterns of funding and to assess financial management of this sector. In so doing the Community Chest of the Western Cape was selected to serve as the locus of the study – their existing manual allocation approach was analysed and a new more sophisticated automated model was developed. Data generated by the model pointed to a further research need, that of a better understanding of the funding and financial management practices of the third sector. This gave rise to the third component of the study, a survey of 232 beneficiary organisations of the Community Chest. An analysis of the data generated by the model and collected from the survey highlighted yet another need, the poor financial management acumen of the sector. In order to address this need and hence the efficacy of the model, a survey of 207 University of Cape Town management accounting students was conducted to determine the feasibility of using their financial management knowledge and skills to support financially and IT-illiterate organisations – the fourth component of the study. The study primarily adopted a quantitative research paradigm; the research design was exploratory-descriptive and used a primary data design with limited secondary data analysis. Data was captured in MS Access and analysed using Statistica and MS Excel. Results indicated that the country’s funding policies were wanting and that the allocation of state and state-controlled funding agency resources were not being allocated in concert with adopted policy. In almost all cases the poorer rural areas had and received fewer resources. Most organisations surveyed were not financially secured and their ability to fundraise was very limited. Their financial management ability was not good. Fortunately a substantial number of accounting students indicated a willingness to improve the financial management ability of such needy organisations. The study concludes by recommending further development of the model, utilisation of accounting students and calls for a major assessment of third sector needs, its funding and financial management. It also recommends the formulation of new funding policies.

Full textCloud computing has become a widely used way to query databases. Today's cloud providers offer a variety of services implemented on parallel architectures. Performance targets and possible penalties in case of violation are established in advance in a contract called Service-Level Agreement (SLA). The provider's goal is to maximize its benefit while respecting the needs of tenants. Before the birth of cloud systems, several studies considered the problem of resource allocation for database querying in parallel architectures. The execution plan for each query is a graph of dependent tasks. The expression "Resource allocation" in this context often implies the placement of tasks within available resources and also their scheduling that takes into account dependencies between tasks. The main goal was to minimize query execution time and maximize the use of resources. However, this goal does not necessarily guarantee the best economic benefit for the provider in the cloud. In order to maximize the provider's benefit and meet the needs of tenants, it is important to include the economic model and SLAs in the resource allocation process. Indeed, the needs of tenants in terms of performance are different, so it would be interesting to allocate resources in a way that favors the most demanding tenants and ensure an acceptable quality of service for the least demanding tenants. In addition, in the cloud the number of assigned resources can increase/decrease according to demand (elasticity) and the monetary cost depends on the number of assigned resources, so it would be interesting to set up a mechanism to automatically choose the right moment to add or remove resources according to the load (auto-scaling). In this thesis, we are interested in designing elastic resource allocation methods for database queries in the cloud. This solution includes: (1) a static two-phase resource allocation method to ensure a good compromise between provider benefit and tenant satisfaction, while ensuring a reasonable allocation cost, (2) an SLA-driven resource reallocation to limit the impact of estimation errors on the benefit and (3) an auto-scaling method based on reinforcement learning that meet the specificities of database queries. In order to evaluate our contributions, we have implemented our methods in a simulated cloud environment and compared them with state-of-the-art methods in terms of monetary cost of the execution of queries as well as the allocation cost

A responsabilidade de tomar decisões em si não é fácil, e quando está relacionada à gestão de recursos na área pública é uma tarefa ainda mais difícil, pois está ligada a um alto nível de complexidade. Neste trabalho, é apresentado um modelo computacional baseado em análise de decisão multicritério para a priorização da alocação de recursos financeiros para as comunidades ribeirinhas da região de Coari, Amazonas. Com o surgimento da Pesquisa Operacional, foi possível o desenvolvimento de métodos que auxiliam os tomadores de decisão no que se refere à avaliação e escolha em ambientes que envolvem multicritérios. É o caso da gestão pública, cuja decisão sobre a alocação de recursos passa pela análise de diversos critérios. As técnicas de decisão multicritério, aliadas às novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação, possibilitam novas formas de conhecimento e maior qualidade em diversos serviços. O emprego destas tecnologias no desenvolvimento de ferramentas de auxílio à decisão para a alocação de recursos é de grande utilidade, tendo em vista a automação no processo de análise e rapidez na obtenção dos resultados, possibilitando agilidade na tomada de decisão. Neste trabalho, é desenvolvido um modelo computacional baseado na técnica de Auxílio à Decisão Multicritério para ajudar na alocação de recursos públicos em comunidades ribeirinhas do Amazonas. O modelo emprega a técnica TOPSIS de análise multicritério com o intuito de obter um ranking das comunidades, para assim indicar aquela com maior grau de prioridade para receber a alocação de recursos públicos. Os experimentos foram realizados assumindo um conjunto de seis critérios empregados na ordenação de oito regiões de comunidades ribeirinhas. No estudo realizado, a lista de priorização indicou a região de comunidades do Baixo Solimões como a prioritária para a alocação de recursos públicos e a robustez da priorização obtida na aplicação efetuada foi avaliada através da realização de uma análise de sensibilidade.
The responsibility of making decisions itself is not easy, and when it is related to the management of resources in the public sector is an even more difficult task, because it is linked to a high level of complexity. In this paper, we present a computational model based on multi-criteria decision analysis to prioritize the allocation of financial resources to the coastal communities of Coari region of Amazonas. With the emergence of Operational Research, development methods was possible that assist decision makers with regard to the evaluation and choice in environments that involve advanced. This is the case of public administration, whose decision on the allocation of resources involves the analysis of various criteria. The techniques of multi-criteria decision, combined with the new technologies of information and communication, enable new forms of knowledge and higher quality in different services. The use of these technologies in the development of the decision support tools for the allocation of resources is useful in view of automation in the process of analysis and speed in obtaining results, enabling agility in decision making. In this work, we developed a computational model based on the technique of Aid to Decision Multicriteria to assist in the allocation of public resources in riverine communities of Amazonas. The model uses the TOPSIS technique of multi-criteria analysis in order to obtain a ranking of the communities, so as to indicate that more priority to receive the allocation of public resources. The experiments were performed assuming a set of six criteria used in the ordination of eight regions of riverside communities. In the study, the list of priority indicated the region of the Lower Solimões communities as a priority for the allocation of public resources and the robustness of the obtained priority in the application made was assessed by performing a sensitivity analysis.

Full textThe consequences of adverse aggregate shocks on households have been repeatedly documented, but far less has been said on the way they are passed over to individuals through the mediation of the household. Does the household contribute in mitigating the effects? Or does the economic shock rather invite itself at the family negociating table? Using the Argentine 2001 economic crisis as a natural experiment, I first show that married women are more likely to enter the labor market if their husband experienced a loss in income, giving credit to the insurance mechanism. Then, I show that the business cycle matters for investments in education, and that long run labor outcomes of Argentine men are persistently affected by the initial conditions upon graduation. Finally, I consider the “Mancession” dimension of the Great Recession in Spain and demonstrate that the resource share accruing to wives for own consumption increases together with the decreasing unemployment gap, which comes in support to the bargaining hypothesis

Vilajosana, Guillén Xavier. "Distributed Resource Allocation for Contributory Systems." Doctoral thesis, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/10803/9124.
Full textThe thesis presents an approach to on-demand capacity expansion in communities of Internet users that aggregate their resources to achieve a common objective. Such commu- nities are emerging as forms of organisation taking advantage of an increasing broadband access and computational capacity. Volunteer computing such as SETI@home, Collab- orative Grids such as OurGrid and LaCOLLA, Ad-hoc and Peer-to-Peer Grids, such as P-Grid and the XGrid project from Apple, Open Grids such as those addressed by SORMA and Grid4All and many other approaches of Grid Computing based on Virtual Organisa- tions are the focus of our work. These systems are characterised by the purpose of their participants, i.e. to achieve a common objective taking advantage of the aggregation of other resources. The cited systems, in contrast to high performance computing Grids, are open to new participants, which makes their behaviour unpredictable and dynamic, and resources are usually connected and disconnected spontaneously. While the critical aspect of high performance Grids is computational performance, stability and availability are the main issues for the systems addressed in this work. The thesis homogenises the concepts of those paradigms under the term Contributory System, which is used throughout the thesis to refer to the systems where users provide their resources to be used collectively to achieve a common objective. Resource expan- sion in Contributory Systems is required so as to increase the limited capacities of ad-hoc collaborative groups under unexpected load surges, temporary resource requirements or other policies defined by the objectives of the Virtual Organisation that they constitute. Four aspects are addressed by the dissertation. Firstly, it identifies the main properties and applications of Contributory Systems and motivates the need for infrastructures to enable on-demand resource expansion. This goes in the direction of Utility Computing trends which are main business lines for IT companies. Thus the thesis proposes the on-demand provision of idle resources from the extremes of the Internet, other Virtual Or- ganisations or Resource Providers to those organisations that have resource needs. In this work, resource allocation is handled by market models which provide efficient while simple mechanisms to mediate the allocation of resources. This proposal enables new emerging opportunities to Internet users to make their business on the Internet by selling their idle resources. Besides, this brings the opportunity to small communities to grow and to bring super-computing capacities to Internet end-users. Secondly, the thesis describes semantically Computational Resources so as to build a common knowledge about the Internets resources. The semantic description enables a common understanding of the nature of resources, permitting the pooling and aggrega- tion of distinct types of technologies while maintaining the same semantics. This makes applications and resource management frameworks independent of the real nature of the resources which we claim as a fundamental aspect to keep resource management indepen- dent of the dynamics and evolution of technology in computational environments, such as in Contributory Systems. A semantic description permits the development of generic specifications to provide bid and offer descriptions in computational markets. Thirdly, the architecture for on-demand resource expansion in Contributory Systems is presented. It has been designed to provide the main functionalities to on-demand provi- sion of resources through markets to scenarios characterized by dynamism, evolution and heterogeneity. The architecture provides the main market oriented functionalities and en- ables dynamic and on-demand execution of market mechanisms. Finally, a specific Grid-oriented market mechanism is presented. The approach is moti- vated due to the unsuitability of current auctions to efficiently allocate time-differentiated resources (usually provided by many different resource providers) such as most of the re- sources in a Contributory System. The thesis builds a roadmap to achieve flexible and decentralized resource expansion in communities where resources are shared by their participants by analysing the main scenarios where it can be applied, providing the semantics and specification to enable the description of the user's requirements, proposing a flexible and configurable architecture to deal with on-demand resource expansion in Virtual Organisations and proposing an specific mechanism adapted to trade computational resources.

Full textThis PhD thesis investigates four problems in the context of Large Distributed Systems. This work is motivated by the questions arising with the expansion of Cloud Computing and related technologies. The present work investigates the efficiency of different resource allocation algorithms in this framework. The methods used involve a mathematical analysis of several stochastic models associated to these networks. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the subject in general, as well as a presentation of the main mathematical tools used throughout the subsequent chapters. Chapter 2 presents a congestion control mechanism in Video on Demand services delivering files encoded in various resolutions. We propose a policy under which the server delivers the video only at minimal bit rate when the occupancy rate of the server is above a certain threshold. The performance of the system under this policy is then evaluated based on both the rejection and degradation rates. Chapters 3, 4 and 5 explore problems related to cooperation schemes between data centres on the edge of the network. In the first setting, we analyse a policy in the context of multi-resource cloud services. In second case, requests that arrive at a congested data centre are forwarded to a neighbouring data centre with some given probability. In the third case, requests blocked at one data centre are forwarded systematically to another where a trunk reservation policy is introduced such that a redirected request is accepted only if there are a certain minimum number of free servers at this data centre
Hachicha, Belghith Emna. "Supporting cloud resource allocation in configurable business process models." Thesis, Université Paris-Saclay (ComUE), 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017SACLL007/document.
Full textOrganizations are recently more and more adopting Process-Aware Information Systems (PAIS) for managing their service-based processes using process models referred to as business process models. Motivated by adapting to the rapid changing business requirements and reducing maintenance costs, organizations are outsourcing their processes in an important infrastructure which is Cloud Computing. According to the NIST Institute, Cloud Computing is a model that enables providers sharing their computing resources (e.g., networks, applications, and storage) and users accessing them in convenient and on-demand way with a minimal management effort. In such a multi-tenant environment, using configurable process models allows a Cloud process provider to deliver a customizable process that can be configured by different tenants according to their needs.A business process could be specified from various perspectives such as the control-flow perspective, the organizational perspective, the resource perspective, etc. Several approaches have been correctly proposed at the level of the first perspectives, in particular the control-flow, i.e., the temporal ordering of the process activities. Nevertheless, the resource perspective, which is of equal importance, has been neglected and poorly operated. The management of the resource perspective especially the Cloud resource allocation in business processes is a current interesting topic that increasingly involves many researches in both academics and industry. The design and configuration of resources are undoubtedly sensitive and labor-intensive task. On the one hand, the resource perspective in process models is not explicitly defined. Although many proposals exist in the literature, they all targeted human resources rather than Cloud resources. On the other hand, despite of the fact that the concept of configurable process models is highly complementary to Cloud Computing, the way in how resources can be configured and integrated is hardly handled. The few proposals, which have been suggested on extending configuration to resources, do not cover required Cloud properties such as elasticity or multi-tenancy.To address these limitations, we propose an approach for supporting the design and configuration of Cloud resource Allocation in configurable business process models. We target to (1) define a unified and formal description for the resource perspective, (2) ensure a correct, free-of-conflict and optimized use of Cloud resource consumption, (3) assist process providers to design their configurable resource allocation in a fine-grained way to avoid complex and large results, and (4) optimize the selection of Cloud resources with respect to the requirements related to Cloud properties (elasticity and shareability) and QoS properties.To do so, we first suggest a semantic framework for a semantically-enriched resource description in business processes aiming at formalizing the consumed Cloud resources using a shared knowledge base. Then, we build upon social business processes to provide strategies in order to ensure a controlled resource allocation without conflicts in terms of resources. Next, we propose a novel approach that extends configurable process models to permit a configurable Cloud resource allocation. Our purpose is to shift the Cloud resource allocation from the tenant side to the Cloud process provider side for a centralized resource management. Afterwards, we propose genetic-based approaches that aim at selecting optimal resource configuration in an energy efficient manner and to improve non-functional properties.In order to show the effectiveness of our proposals, we concretely developed (i) a set of proof of concepts, as a validation part, to assist the design of process models and populate a knowledge base of heterogeneous process models with Cloud resources, and (ii) performed experiments on real process models from large datasets

Revenue management (RM) is one way to enhance the amount of revenue in IaaS cloud computing service. This study uses resource allocation and overbooking models from RM to appropriately allocate resources of reservations and manage cancellations and no-shows of reservations in IaaS service in order to increase revenues and improve resource utilization. With overbooking, the resource providers can minimize the loss of revenue and enhance the resource utilization. To efficiently manage resources and find an ideal limit that exceeds the maximum capacity, this study integrates the dynamic Expected Marginal Seating (Resource) Revenue (EMSR) model with the overbooking model for optimizing revenue. In testing process, the data is created with demand scenario by simulation. The result of the simulate study shows that using overbooking can increase the total revenue by up to 8%-11%, and the model in this study is verified that has better performance than traditional nested model. The findings of the study provide practical strategies to how IaaS providers manage bookings and control the number of overbooking so as to improve their revenues and the competitive advantage.

Due to the changing environment, the products in electronics industry vary enormously. The common problems faced with the electronics industry as well as other industries in Taiwan included unpredictable demand, different lead time of various material, tight delivery schedule and constant changing of production plan. Electronics industry needs to catch up with the market trend, so that it can responds to customer needs quickly and to overcome the problems caused by the over-centralized industries, products and markets. Besides, traditional production planning method (e.g., MRP) cannot fulfill the requirements of effective production planning. Therefore, Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) system is promoted to solve the complex problems that planner encounter in production planning. Resource allocation is the core of APS, it can provide planners the material allocation reference and reduce inventory costs between forcasting order and customer order. In this thesis, a genetic algorithm-based resource allocation model for electronics industry is introduced. The model aims to solve ignoring costs for material allocation by “heuristic rule”. It measures costs such as supply order movement cost, and provides a decision suggestion for planners to cancel or change order. Finally, the model developed in this research is applied to a electronics industry to test it’s applicability in practice.

Full textOs três artigos que compõem esta tese analisam os factores “comportamentais” que influenciam a alocação de recursos (e.g., comércio e investimento directo estrangeiro (IDE)) a nível global. O primeiro artigo analisa o efeito da similaridade linguística no comércio mundial e em particular em certos produtos. Esta análise é feita do ponto de vista das 10 línguas mais influentes a nível global. Os resultados desta análise oferecem uma interpretação inequívoca sobre o positivo efeito da língua no comércio. E ainda nos permitiu aferir da superioridade da similaridade linguística sobre a língua comum. Os resultados também demonstram que o efeito da língua é diferenciado entre as 10 línguas globalmente mais influentes e que este impacto é específico a certos produtos. Também verificamos que os produtos “culturais” são mais sensíveis ao efeito da língua. O segundo artigo é uma análise a nível macro do IDE. Para a análise referida utilizamos o modelo gravitacional, dados de 2000 – 2012 para analisar o efeito da assimetria de informação, similaridade linguística e tecnológica. Para índice de similaridade tecnológica utilizamos dados de propriedade intelectual a nível do país. A análise de 71309 pares de IDE entre países revelou o efeito positivo da língua sobre IDE. Verificamos que a diferença tecnológica impede o elevado fluxo de IDE e que o fluxo de informação é crucial para um elevado nível de IDE. Mais, verificamos que elevado fluxo de informação diminui o efeito negativo da distância. Ainda verificamos que a atitude em relação ao investimento varia consoante o nível de recursos dos países de origem. O terceiro artigo analisa o impacto das características demográficas dos gestores sob a decisão de IDE (i.e. greenfield). Usando modelos hierárquicos, dados de 2003 – 2012, a análise de 49138 dados de greenfield empresarial revela que o nível de educação dos gestores determina a escolha do país e o montante a investir. Também verificamos que quanto mais educado o gestor mais provável é investimentos nos países emergentes e em vias de desenvolvimento. Mais, também verificamos que os gestores originários dos países emergentes e em vias de desenvolvimento assumem mais riscos, i.e., é mais provável investirem em países emergentes ou em vias de desenvolvimento. Também verificamos que os gestores mais poderosos tendem a ter uma atitude mais conservador e assumir menos riscos.

This dissertation presents an object-oriented model to handle the temporal relationship for all of the multimedia objects at the presentation platform. Synchronization of the composite media objects is achieved by ensuring that all objects presented in the upcoming "manageable" period must be ready for execution. To this end, the nature of overlays is first examined for various types of objects. Critical overlaps which are crucial in synchronization are also defined. The objective of synchronization is to ensure that the media objects can be initiated precisely at the critical point of the corresponding critical overlap. The concept of manageable presentation interval is introduced and the irreducible media group is defined. Accordingly, a new model called group cascade object composition Petri-net (GCOCPN) is then proposed to facilitate partition of a presentation program of a distributed multimedia system into manageable irreducible media groups so that the multimedia information can be presented by the specific QoS requirement. The relation among buffer occupancy at the presentation platform, network bandwidth and objects pre-fetch time is also examined. Finally, a proposed resource allocation algorithm based on the upper bound of available system buffer capacity is proposed.

For a public or private sector, the central decision-maker (CDM) governs a set of homogenous subordinates, decision-making units, DMUs. DMUs consume a set of input resources to produce a set of outputs. To improve the whole sector’s aggregate performance, CDM would allocate its resources and products among the DMUs. There are several literatures provide mathematical models to deal with the problem under their specific conditions, respectively. The current research based on virtual-gap-measurement (VGM) model and develops a new model under general conditions to have better solutions. We employ a numerical example to the models in literatures. The comparisons between our model and the others on efficiencies and slacks indicate our model outperforms the others.

The scale of war has been changed from large to small. The national defense department develops a new policy to meet the changes of the modern world. Meanwhile, the national defense budget of R.O.C. is not able to cover the needs. Therefore military developments are limited by the budget shortage. Consequently, the optimization of the resources allocation is an important issue. This research develops a policy to distribute the limited budget by considering the defense budget based on three items namely, personnel, maintenance, operating cost and the military investments using the bilevel programming to develop an optimal policy for the distribution of national defense budget. The bilevel model is solved by considering the history data of the national defense budget distribution to test the accuracy of the model. This bilevel model considers the maximization of the overall value of budget distribution under the idea of minimizing the difference of the ration of funded amount over request amount among the requesting units.
