Due to their scale, when designing resource allocation algorithms for Cloud infrastructures, many assumptions must be made in order to make the problem tractable.
In this article, we discussed the challenges in designing resource allocation and pricing in cognitive radio network.
Dutreilh et al. [16] and Pan et al. [29] used control theoretic models to design resource allocation solutions for cloud computing.
On the one hand, the decoupling of the phases considerably simplifies the optimization, but on the other, we want to know the optimal rate vector r ⋆ and possibly the optimal time shares τ i ⋆, e.g., for the purpose of designing resource allocation protocols.
Budget and general guidelines on the programs offered by health units are assigned by the province, but decisions about program design, resource allocation and action are made by the local health unit based on its assessment of population needs.
But rigid models for standardized implementation that exclude national and local institutions in matters of design, resource allocation, and monitoring, particularly those outside of individual projects or programs, ensure that local institutions will remain disempowered and peripheral to the scaling up process.
It is clear that a thorough understanding of current priority setting/resource allocation practices, what shapes these practices, and what decision-makers see as key areas for improvement, are essential pieces of information in the development of a well-designed resource allocation process.
Since many real-world design or decision making problems involve simultaneous optimization of multiple objectives [23], we designed a resource allocation optimization model that will fully integrate the two factors of energy-efficient optimization and makespan optimization.
There are a few works that consider EE in D2D communications, but only for single-antenna BSs, e.g., [28, 29], and [30], where the first one proposed a coalition formation method, the second one designed a resource allocation scheme, and the third one aimed at prolonging the battery life of user devices.
