Simultaneous allocation of multiple resources for computer communications networks

Abstract

In computer communications networks, all services are provided using servers (computing resource and storage resource) distributed in various locations and network bandwidth which connects the selected server and the user terminal. Therefore, for each service request, it is necessary to assign multiple types of resource simultaneously and effectively. This paper proposes a new method of allocating multiple types of resource simultaneously in a computer communications network. The key idea of the proposed method is first to identify the resource type for which the requested amount is the largest proportion of the maximum resource of that type, and then to select the center with the least available amount of the selected resource type. Moreover, this paper proposes another method of allocating multiple types of resource which takes account of the network delay time. It is demonstrated by simulation evaluations that the proposed method could reduce the amount of the resource of 20% in the maximum, compared with the existing method
