Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtility Based Scheduling and Call Admission Control for Long Term Evolution NetworksJ. Vijay Franklin, K. ParamasivamIn this study, we propose to design a call admission control algorithm which schedules the channels for Real time and non-real time users. In Long Term Evolution (LTE) 3GPP Networks, several works were done on call admission control but these works rarely considers scheduling of resources to the real time and non-real time users.When the system meets traffic oriented performance … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 13 Dec 2012 · 6,785 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Scheduling for Cloud Reliability using Transportation ProblemS. K. Senthil Kumar, P. BalasubramanieProblem statement: Cloud is purely a dynamic environment and the existing task scheduling algorithms are mostly static and considered various parameters like time, cost, make span, speed, scalability, throughput, resource utilization, scheduling success rate and so on. Available scheduling algorithms are mostly heuristic in nature and more complex, time consuming and does not consider reliability and availability of the cloud … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 23 Aug 2012 · 8,332 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProviding Fairness to Mobile Workforces in an Automated Task Allocation Process: A Semantic Multi-agent ApproachArash Mousavi, Riza Sulaiman, Md. Jan Nordin et al.Problem statement: Mobile Workforces (MW) unlike computational resources of an automated system are active but not passive entities. Therefore, an automated resource allocation system that deals with MWs should assign tasks to them fairly and in a comparatively equal manner. An unfair task allocation in a group will cause dissatisfaction, which in turn demotivates MWs who are supposed to work … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 16 May 2012 · 7,003 accessesView PDFCite
