    • Dynamic Resource Allocation: A comparison of First Price Sealed Bid and Vickrey Auctions 

      Opiyo, Elisha T O; Ayienga, Erick; Getao, Katherine; Okello-Odongo, William (School of Computing and Informatics, 2008)
      Resource allocation involves assigning the resources to the resource users. Where the resources and the resource users do not change with time, the resource allocation problem can be solved as a scheduling problem. Where ...

    • Game Theoretic Multi-Agent Systems Scheduler for Parallel Machines 

      Opiyo, Elisha T O; Ayienga, Erick; Getao, Katherine; Okello-Odongo, William (School of Computing and InformaticsSchool of Computing and Informatics, 2008)
      This paper considers the scheduling of n independent jobs on m non-identical machines using the ideas from game theory and multi-agent systems. The values of n and m are fixed at 30 and 6 respectively giving a schedule ...

    • Searching for Optimal Schedule for Parallel Machines Using an Agent-based Technique 

      Opiyo, Elisha T. O.; Ayienga, Eric; Getao, Katherine; Okello-Odongo, William (School of Computing and Informatics, 2008)
      In this paper the scheduling of n independent jobs on m non-identical machines is considered for a large concrete schedule space for 30 jobs and 6 machines. The schedule space is about 1023 which is large enough to render ...
