Scheduling has long been a challenge to housing construction industry. It is critical to find a dynamic resource allocation mechanism that can fit into the intrinsically distributed subcontracting project and react to highly dynamic real-time event from construction site. An agent based scheduling mechanism is proposed at operation level to address the distributed decision making structure in housing...
We present an algorithm to implement “most balancing” packet scheduling policies in a discrete-time multi-server system of parallel queues with independent random queue-server connectivity. The MB policies are characterized by minimizing the total difference in queue lengths at every time slot. The proposed algorithm produces the server allocation strategy that achieves the minimum “imbalance index”...
IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) provides a common control layer over which the services can be easily accessed by fixed and mobile users. In order to guarantee performance to both service providers and end service subscribers, careful management and maintenance within the control layer must be fulfilled. In this paper, we propose a solution that utilizes a controlling entity to track the utilization...
