The computational resource sharing algorithm should allow the selection of the required resources (CPUr, Mr, Br, Dr) for each ISS, while minimizing the amount of resources used as well as the resource allocation time, and maximizing the satisfactory factor of the ISS using a specific amount of resources.
At application level, process is used as the resource allocation principal for achieving processing rates on Apache Web servers.
The continual reassessment method (CRM) (O'Quigley et al, 1990; Garrett-Mayer, 2006; O'Quigley and Zohar, 2006) was used as the dose allocation rule in the trial.

Continuous outcome measures will be analyzed using generalized linear models including treatment allocation, test of interaction term between allocation and the vignette used, as well as variables associated with attrition or baseline imbalances between the groups, if any.
Different combinations of arms were used as far as possible, although the arm allocations were counterbalanced across groups.
In addition to improving the poverty indicators used (as has been done), an appropriate geographical allocation of recipients should be ensured.
