'Matei Zaharia'] We consider the problem of assigning or allocating resources to a set of jobs. We consider the case when the resources are fungible, that is, the job can be done with any mix of the resources, but with different efficiencies. In our formulation we maximize a total utility subject to a given limit on…

'Parimala Thulasiraman' 'Ruppa Thulasiram'] Fog computing aims to support applications requiring low latency and high scalability by using resources at the edge level. In general, fog computing comprises several autonomous mobile or static devices that share their idle resources to run different services. The providers…

All organisms utilize resources to grow, survive, and reproduce. The supply of these resources varies widely across landscapes and time, imposing ultimate constraints on the maximal trait values for allocation-related traits. Consequently, an impressive diversity of phenotypically plastic strategies evolves in response…

Recent studies in different fields of science caused emergence of needs for high performance computing systems like Cloud. A critical issue in design and implementation of such systems is resource allocation which is directly affected by internal and external factors like the number of nodes, geographical distance and…

Optimal allocation of resources across sub-units in the context of centralized decisionmaking systems such as bank branches or supermarket chains is a classical application of operations research and management science. In this paper, we develop quantile allocation models to examine how much the output and productivity…

A subtractive clustering-based methodology is introduced in this paper, that is applicable to solve spatial resource allocation problems that often arise in waste management. To satisfy spatially distributed demands, resources have to be allocated so that they would have the same spatial distribution. They are often…

Visual working memory (VWM), the brief retention of past visual information, supports a range of cognitive functions (12; 18). The resource that supports VWM is limited, raising the question of how the brain allocates this limited resource to different objects. This question is even more interesting in ecological…

'Jimmy Singla' 'N.Z. Jhanjhi' 'Mehedi Masud' 'Mohammad Shorfuzzaman'] The convenience and cost-effectiveness offered by cloud computing have attracted a large customer base. In a cloud environment, the inclusion of the concept of virtualization requires careful management of resource utilization and energy consumption.…

'Abdulaziz A. Alsulami' 'Raed Alsini' 'Paolo Bellavista' 'Pedro Melo-Pinto' 'Duarte Fernandes' 'Antonio Silva' 'João L. Monteiro'] The Internet of Things (IoT) generates a large volume of data whenever devices are interconnected and exchange data across a network. Consequently, a variety of services with diverse needs…

For delivering products or services to their clients, organizations execute manifold business processes. During such execution, upcoming process tasks need to be allocated to internal resources. Resource allocation is a complex decision-making problem with high impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of processes. A…

Cloud computing has become a major component of the modern IT ecosystem. A key contributor to this has been the development of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) architecture, in which users’ virtual machines (VMs) are run on the service provider’s physical infrastructure, making it possible to become independent of…

Given a limited number of molecular components, cells face various allocation problems demanding decisions on how to distribute their resources. For instance, cells decide which enzymes to produce at what quantity, but also where to position them. Here we focus on the spatial allocation problem of how to distribute…

Resource-limited growth frameworks often developed independently. Here, we derived a growth law by assuming a cell balancing internal competing resource demands and generalizing the growth signal through a shape parameter h, the trade-off exponent. In Liebig’s single-limiting-resource regime, it recovers Droop’s cell…

Job scheduling in cloud computing environments is a critical yet complex problem. Cloud computing user job requirements are highly dynamic and uncertain, while cloud computing resources are heterogeneous and constrained. This paper studies the online resource allocation problem for elastic computing jobs with soft…

Computing the free energy of protein-ligand binding by employing molecular dynamics (MD) simulations is becoming a valuable tool in the early stages of drug discovery. However, the cost and complexity of such simulations are often prohibitive for high-throughput studies. We present an automated workflow for the…

To understand the functioning and dynamics of microbial communities remains a fundamental challenge at the forefront of current biology. To tackle this challenge, the construction of computational models of interacting microbes is an indispensable tool. Currently, however, there is a large chasm between…

Accurate and efficient calculation of alchemical free energies is a critical challenge in computational chemistry, frequently hindered by the inherent limitations of conventional Thermodynamic Integration (TI) methods. These limitations include poor phasespace overlap between discrete alchemical states, inefficient…

For applications in gas sensing, purification, and capture, we often wish to search a large set of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for the top-K in terms of their Henry coefficient of an adsorbate. A molecular simulation to predict the Henry coefficient of a MOF constitutes a Monte Carlo integration where each sample…

This work establishes theoretical foundations for hierarchical quantum-classical algorithm design, where complex problems are decomposed across multiple spatial, temporal, or organizational scales with quantum and classical computation assigned to appropriate levels. We develop a mathematical framework that…

Cells need to make an efficient use of metabolites, proteins, energy, membrane space, and time, and resource allocation is also an important aspect of metabolism. How, for example, should cells distribute their protein budget between different cellular functions, e.g. different metabolic pathways, to maximise growth?…

Existing plastic recycling infrastructure largely relies on mechanical recycling technologies, which are capable of processing only a small subset of waste plastics. Emerging chemical technologies can “upcycle” plastic waste by producing high-value products (e.g., olefins that can be used to produce virgin-grade…
