Resource Allocation for Multi-Access Edge Computing with Fronthaul and Backhaul Constraints

2021

Edge computing is able to provide proximity solutions for the future wireless network to accommodate different types of devices with various computing service demands. Meanwhile, in order to provide ubiquitous connectivities to massive devices over a relatively large area, densely deploying remote radio head (RRH) is considered as a cost-efficient solution. In this work, we consider a vertical and heterogeneous multiaccess edge computing system. In the system, the RRHs are deployed for providing wireless access for the users and the edge node with computing capability can process the computation requests from the users. With the objective to minimize the total energy consumption for process…

Medicines of high health and economic impact: The required balance between innovation and sustainability

Are Spanish SMEs good places to work?

2012

PurposeThis paper aims to perform a descriptive analysis of the current degree of development and application of work‐life balance policies in Spanish SMEs, examining the differences that arise due to ownership structure (family owned business versus non‐family owned business) and presenting an in‐depth analysis of the variables that influence managers' attitudes towards work‐life balance policies.Design/methodology/approachStructured interviews with SME managers were performed.FindingsThe presence of those polices is small, although the situation differs depending on the type of policy. Differences in ownership structure do not imply significantly different behavior with regard to the intr…

Ambiguities in organizations and the routines of behavior and change

2015

Purpose– The aim of this article is threefold: the primary aim is conceptual by outlining two ideal-typical ideas about organizational life. These models offer rival ideas about how organizations balance seemingly conflicting patterns of behaviour and change in everyday life. The second ambition of the article is to outline a theoretical approach of organizational life arguing that even fairly loosely coupled organizations may be profoundly patterned by everyday routines as much as by ambiguity. The third and final ambition is to offer empirical illustrations from organizations that are often considered as archetypes of loose coupling and ambiguities: jazz orchestras and university organiza…

Iekšējā tūrisma attīstība Kaļiņingradas reģionā

2015

Kaļiņingradas apgabals ir unikāla Krievijas Federācijas teritorija ar īpašu ģeogrāfisko atrašanās vietu, kurai ir liels dabas un vēsturiskais potenciāls tūrisma attīstībai. Maģistra darba mērķis ir novērtēt situāciju tūrisma jomā šajā reģionā, tā turpmākas attīstības priekšnoteikumus, kā arī sagatavot priekšlikumus, lai sekmētu iekšzemes un starpvalstu tūrisma attīstību.

Bandwidth allocation and pricing in multimode network

2006

This paper presents adaptive resource sharing model that uses a revenue criterion to allocate network resources in an optimal way. The model ensures QoS requirements of data flows and, at the same time, maximizes the total revenue by adjusting parameters of the underlying scheduler. Besides, the adaptive model eliminates the need to find the optimal static weight values because they are calculated dynamically. The simulation consists of several cases that analyse the model and the way it provides the required QoS guarantees. The simulation reveals that the installation of the adaptive model increases the total revenue and ensures the QoS requirements for all service classes.

Multi-Resource Management for Multi-Tier Space Information Networks: A Cooperative Game

2019

With the drastic increase of space information network (SIN) traffic and the diversity of network traffic types, the optimal allocation of the scarce network resources is of great significance for optimizing the SIN system capability. In this paper, we propose a multi-resource management method for multi-tier SIN using the cooperative Nash bargaining solution. Since the original problem is a non-convex problem, we firstly make logarithmic transition, and then find a tightest lower bound function to convert the initial problem into a convex one. In order to carry out the optimal bandwidth and power allocation in SIN, we construct a joint bandwidth and power allocation (JBPA) algorithm. Simul…

Mauna Kea, Hawaii, as an Analog Site for Future Planetary Resource Exploration: Results from the 2010 ILSO-ISRU Field-Testing Campaign

2013

Within the framework of the International Lunar Surface Operation - In-Situ Resource Utilization Analogue Test held on January 27 - February 11, 2010 on the Mauna Kea volcano in Hawaii, a number of scientific instrument teams collaborated to characterize the field site and test instrument capabilities outside laboratory environments. In this paper, we provide a geological setting for this new field-test site, a description of the instruments that were tested during the 2010 ILSO-ISRU field campaign, and a short discussion for each instrument about the validity and use of the results obtained during the test. These results will form a catalogue that may serve as reference for future test cam…

The White Stone of South-Eastern Sicily: Urban and Territorial Identity

2017

La Sicilia è un territorio fortemente "segnato" dall'impiego massiccio della ricca varietà di materiali lapidei che la natura ha messo a disposizione: materia prima dalle differenti qualità petrografiche, colore, caratteristiche tecniche e con una vasta possibilità di impiego, sia come elemento costruttivo sia come pietra ornamentale. La "pietra bianca" di Siracusa, il basalto dell'Etna, la "pietra forte" del ragusano, la pietra di Sabucina di Caltanissetta e Niscemi, le calcareniti e le rocce tufacee delle cave di Carini e Aspra, il calcare grigio di billiemi nel palermitano e il tufo calcareo di Agrigento, caratterizzano gran parte degli insediamenti antropici dell'isola, espressione di u…
