Continuous resource allocation in cloud computing

2015 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC), 2015
With the advent of cloud computing, more and more enterprises and individuals are motivated to outsource their local complex applications into the cloud for its great flexibility and economic savings. For cloud server, however, the problem of how to optimize scheduling cloud resources to maximize the resource utilization and incorporate energy ...

Continuous refinement of agent resource estimates

Proceedings of the fifth international joint conference on Autonomous agents and multiagent systems, 2006
The challenge we address is to reason about projected resource usage within a hierarchical task execution framework in order to improve agent effectiveness. Specifically, we seek to define and maintain maximally informative guaranteed bounds on projected resource requirements, in order to enable an agent to take full advantage of available resources ...

Planning with continuous resources for agent teams

International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2009
Many problems of multiagent planning under uncertainty require distributed reasoning with continuous resources and resource limits. Decentralized Markov Decision Problems (Dec-MDPs) are well-suited to address such problems, but unfortunately, prior Dec-MDP approaches either discretize resources at the expense of speed and quality guarantees, or avoid ...

On periodic resource scheduling for continuous media databases

Proceedings Eighth International Workshop on Research Issues in Data Engineering. Continuous-Media Databases and Applications, 1998
The Enhanced Pay-Per-View (EPPV) service model provides an effective way of delivering continuous media (CM) data clips to a large number of different clients. The aim is to share CM streams among various clients, thereby increasing the level of concurrency beyond the capacity limitations of available resources, while guaranteeing an upper bound on the

Project Scheduling with Discrete and Continuous Resources

IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, 1979
Allocation is discussed of constrained resources among activities of a network project, when the resource requirements of activities concern a unit of a discrete resource (machine, processor) from a finite set of m parallel units and an amount of a continuously divisible resource (power, fuel flow, approximate manpower) which is arbitrary within a ...

Continual resource estimation for evolving software

International Conference on Software Maintenance, 2003. ICSM 2003. Proceedings., 2004
A resource estimation approach, specifically oriented towards long-lived software being actively evolved, is proposed and investigated. The approach seeks to be coherent with empirically grounded knowledge including the observation that the software progresses through a series of stages during its lifetime and that a distinctive model characterizes the

National Resources for Continuing Medical Education

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1968
During the past several months I have been on leave of absence as a visiting scholar at the National Library of Medicine. The time for contemplation was livened by the opportunity to observe first hand several federal health agencies, to study their relationship to each other, and to review the considerable health legislation of the 89th Congress ...

A Population Learning Algorithm for Discrete-Continuous Scheduling with Continuous Resource Discretisation

Sixth International Conference on Intelligent Systems Design and Applications, 2006
A problem of scheduling nonpreemtable tasks on parallel identical machines under constraint on discrete resource and requiring, additionally, renewable continuous resource to minimize the schedule length is considered in the paper. A continuous resource is divisible continuously and is allocated to tasks from given intervals in amounts unknown in ...
