On Achieving Fairness in the Joint Allocation of Processing and Bandwidth Resources
- IEEE Trans. Networking
, 2003
"... The problem of achieving fairness in the allocation of the bandwidth resource on a link shared by multiple flows of traffic has been extensively researched over the last decade. However, with the increasing pervasiveness of optical networking and the occasional trend toward using over-provisionin ..."

Protecting the Water Supply: The Philippine Experience
"... In common with many other countries, the Philippines faces major challenges to its water supply due to heavy population increase, destruction of tropical rainforest and catchment areas, severe water pollution, excessive extraction of groundwater, and poor resource management. With a view to conservi ..."

Xenoservers: Accountable Execution of Untrusted Programs
- In Workshop on Hot Topics in Operating Systems
, 1998
"... Many networked applications could benefit from executing closer to the data or services with which they interact. By doing this they may be able to circumvent long communication latencies or avoid transferring data over congested or expensive network links. However, no public infrastructure currentl ..."

currently exists that enables this. We propose a system that can execute code supplied by an untrusted user, yet can charge this user for all resources consumed by the computation. Such servers could be deployed at strategic locations throughout the Internet, enabling network users such as content
Demand Planning Methodology in Supply Chain Management
, 2010
"... A supply chain is the system of organizations, people, technology, activities, information and resources involved in moving a product or service from supplier to customer. In Supply Chain Demand planning is a critical business process that impacts Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) companies ’ abilit ..."

. A demand planning methodology and few applications have been shown here. The potential of this Demand Planning Methodology is to improve the certainty of demand planning decision making of a FMCG company. This methodology helps to maintain less excess and shortage quantity over the supply chain
The Role of Supply Constraints in Multiplier Analysis1
"... 2 Multiplier analysis based upon the information contained in Leontief's inverse is undoubtedly part of the core of the input-output methodology and numerous applications an extensions have been developed that exploit its informational content. Nonetheless there are some implicit theoretical as ..."

assumptions whose implications have perhaps not been fully assessed. This is the case of the 'excess capacity ' assumption. Because of this assumption resources are available as needed to adjust production to new equilibrium states. In real world applications, however, new resources are scarce
Applying supply chain optimization techniques to workforce planning problems
"... The IBM Research Division has developed the Resource Capacity Planning (RCP) Optimizer to support the Workforce Management Initiative (WMI) of IBM. RCP applies supply chain management techniques to the problem of planning the needs of IBM for skilled labor in order to satisfy service engagements, su ..."

The Final Hurdle?: Security of supply, the Capacity Mechanism and the role of
, 2014
"... Abstract The UK Government has developed a carefully designed Capacity Mechanism to ensure security of supply in the GB electricity system. This paper criticises the methods used to determine the amount of capacity to procure, and argues that the amount finally proposed is likely to be excessive, pa ..."

for excessive procurement, and associated subsidy. The risk of over-procurement, particularly of new capacity on long-term contracts, is that it drives up the costs to consumers; undermines renewable energy by transferring capped resources from renewable to fossil fuel producers; and impedes the Single Market
SHORT-TERM SUPPLY-SIDE INSTABILITY IN THE OIL MARKET
, 1986
"... We assume that oil producers are either governments or firms that are regulated or taxed to act as governments. Governments ’ political objectives lead them to make expenditure commitments that are financed from oil, so oil producers individually seek a predetermined total oil revenue. We prove two ..."

principal theorems: (1) So long as producers have some ability to control the final destination of their oil, in short-run equilibrium there can be positive excess demand; and (2) With positive costs of operating aproducer cartel, excess demand is an increasing function of price, and price is unstable
Excess reserves in Jamaican Commercial Banks: The implications for Monetary Policy
, 2011
"... Abstract High levels of excess reserves have been a persistent feature of Jamaica's commercial banking system within the past two decades. These reserves provide a positive impact in terms of the institutions' ability to respond to liquidity shocks. Notwithstanding this, questions have be ..."
