In this paper, a new distributed resource allocation algorithm is proposed to alleviate the cross-tier interference for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing access macrocell and femtocell overlay. Specifically, the resource allocation problem is modeled as a non-cooperative game. Based on game theory, we propose an iterative algorithm between subchannel and power allocation called distributed resource allocation which requires no coordination among the two-hierarchy networks. Finally, a macrocell link quality protection process is proposed to guarantee the macrocell UE's quality of service to avoid severe cross-tier interference from femtocells. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve remarkable performance gains as compared to the pure waterfilling algorithm.

The performance of a distributed database system depends particularly on the site-allocation of the fragments. Queries access different fragments among the sites, and an originating site exists for each query. A data allocation algorithm should distribute the fragments to minimize the transfer and settlement costs of executing the query plans. The primary cost for a data allocation algorithm is the cost of the data transmission across the network. The data allocation problem in a distributed database is NP-complete, and scalable evolutionary algorithms were developed to minimize the execution costs of the query plans. In this paper, quadratic assignment problem heuristics were designed and implemented for the data allocation problem. The proposed algorithms find near-optimal solutions for the data allocation problem. In addition to the fast ant colony, robust tabu search, and genetic algorithm solutions to this problem, we propose a fast and scalable hybrid genetic multi-start tabu search algorithm that outperforms the other well-known heuristics in terms of execution time and solution quality.

In this research, we study the outage probability for distributed space-time coding-based cooperative (DSTC) systems with amplify-and-forward relaying over Rayleigh fading channels with a high temporal correlation where the direct link between the source and the destination is available. In particular, we derive the upper and lower bounds of the outage probability as well as their corresponding asymptotic expressions. In addition, using only the average channel powers for the source-to-relay and relay-to-destination links, we propose an efficient power allocation scheme between the source and the relay to minimize the asymptotic upper bound of the outage probability. Through a numerical investigation, we verify the analytical expressions as well as the effectiveness of the proposed efficient power allocation. The numerical results show that the lower and upper bounds tightly correspond to the exact outage probability, and the proposed efficient power allocation scheme provides an outage probability similar to that of the optimal power allocation scheme that minimizes the exact outage probability.

Geographically dispersed computing system is made of computers interconnected by a telecommunications network. To make the system operated efficiently, system designer must determine the allocation of data files to each node. In designing such distributed computing system, the most important issue is the determination of the numbers and the locations where database files are allocated. This is commonly referred to as the file allocation problem (FAP)[3]. The proposed model is a 0/l integer programming problem minimizing the sum of file storage costs and communication(query and update) costs. File allocation problem belongs to the class of NP-Complete problems. Because of the complexity, it is hard to solve. So, this paper presents an efficient heuristic algorithm to solve the file allocation problem using Tabu Search Technique. By comparing the optimal solutions with the heuristic solutions, it is believed that the proposed heuristic algorithm gives good solutions. Through the experimentation of various starting points and tabu restrictions, this paper presents fast and efficient method to solve the file allocation problem in the distributed computing system.

최근 분산 에너지 자원들의 도입으로 전력망의 최적 자원 할당 문제의 중요성이 강조되고 있고, 대규모 전력망의 방대한 양의 데이터를 처리하기 위해 분산 자원 할당 기법이 요구되고 있다. 최적 자원 할당 문제에서 각 발전기의 발전 용량의 한계로 인하여 수급의 균형이 만족하는 경우를 고려한 연구는 많이 진행되고 있지만, 총 요구량이 최대 발전 용량을 초과하는 경우인 수급 불균형을 고려한 연구는 아직 미미한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 수급 균형인 상황뿐만 아니라 수급 불균형 상황을 고려하여 전력망의 최적 자원 할당을 위한 일치 기반의 분산 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 분산 알고리즘은 수급 균형을 만족하는 경우에는 최적의 자원을 할당하고, 수급이 불균형한 경우에는 부족한 자원의 양을 계측할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 마지막으로 모의실험을 통하여 제안된 알고리즘의 성능을 검증하였다.

Allocation patterns of energy and mineral elements were investigated with phaseolus multiflorus grown in the environmental gradients. The result showed different energy allocation patterns according to relative light intensities and nutrients. The optimal switching time of energy allocation from vegetative to resproductive growth was delated as decreasing relative light intensity. The switch of the shift to reproduction was timed earlier in phosphorus treatment and delayed in nitrogen treatment. Analyzing the mineral elements to various organs, patterns of energy allocation were different from those of mineral allocation. There was no significant difference for allocation patterns in relative light intensity gradients. it was shown that n and p were distributed over the reproductive organs, k mainly in stems, ca in leaves and na in roots. mg was evenly distributed in each organs.

The CAN (Controller Area Network) system is the most dominant protocol for in-vehicle networking system because it provides bounded transmission delay among ECUs (Electronic Control Units) at data rates between 125Kbps and 1Mbps. And, many automotive companies have chosen the CAN protocol for their in-vehicle networking system such as chassis network system because of its excellent communication characteristics. However, the increasing number of ECUs and the need for more intelligent functions such as ADASs (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) or IVISs (In-Vehicle Information Systems) require a network with more network capacity and the real-time QoS (Quality-of-Service). As one approach to enhancing the network capacity of a CAN system, this paper introduces a CAN system with dual communication channel. And, this paper presents a distributed message allocation method that allocates messages to the more appropriate channel using forecast traffic of each channel. Finally, an experimental testbed using commercial off-the-shelf microcontrollers with two CAN protocol controllers was used to demonstrate the feasibility of the CAN system with dual communication channel using the distributed message allocation method.

분산 클라우드 컴퓨팅에서 자원 할당 알고리즘은 사용자 만족도와 서비스 수용 및 처리 능력과 밀접한 관련을 가지기 때문에 중요하다. 즉, 분산 클라우드에서는 서비스 처리를 위해 이용가능한 자원이 없을 때 발생하는 서비스 거부는 사용자 만족도를 반감시킨다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 서비스 거부를 최소화하기 위하여 데이터센터 자원 상황을 고려한 자원 할당 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 Q-Learning 기반의 자원 할당량 학습에 의해서 클라우드 데이터센터에서 최대 자원 할당량 만큼 할당을 할 수 있으면 자원 할당량이 증가하고 그렇지 못할 때는 자원 할당량이 감소하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 제안하는 알고리즘과 기존의 두 알고리즘을 평가하고 제안하는 알고리즘이 두 알고리즘 보다 낮은 서비스 거부율을 보임을 증명한다.

Owing to the intermittent power generation of renewable energy sources (RESs), future wireless cellular networks are required to reliably aggregate power from retailers. In this paper, we propose a distributed power allocation (DPA) scheme for base stations (BSs) powered by retailers with heterogeneous RESs in order to deal with the unreliable power supply (UPS) problem. The goal of the proposed DPA scheme is to maximize our well-defined utility, which consists of power satisfaction and unit power costs including added costs as a non-subscriber, based on linear and quadratic cost models. To determine the optimal amount of DPA, we apply dual decomposition, which separates the master problem into sub-problems. Optimal power allocation from each retailer can be obtained by iteratively coordinating between the BSs and retailers. Finally, through a mathematical analysis, we show that the proposed DPA can overcome the UPS for BSs powered from heterogeneous RESs.

In the operation of distribution systems, DGs (Distributed Generations) are installed as an alternative to extension and the establishment of substations, transmission and distribution lines according to the increasing power demand. In the operation planning of DGs, determining optimal capacity and allocation achieves economical profitability and improves the reliability of power distribution systems. This paper proposes a determining method for the optimal number, size and allocation of DGs in order to minimize the operation costs of distribution systems. Capacity and allocation of DGs for economical operation planning duration are determined to minimize total cost composed with power buying cost, operation cost of DGs, loss cost and outage cost using the GA (Genetic Algorithm).
