This book develops allocation mechanisms that aim to ensure an efficient resource allocation in modern IT-services. Recent methods of artificial intelligence, such as neural networks and reinforcement learning, and nature-oriented optimization methods, such as genetic algorithms and simulated annealing, are advanced and applied to allocation processes in distributed IT-infrastructures, e.g. grid systems. The author presents two methods, both of which using the users??? w Analysis economie economics bedrijfswetenschap management science speltheorie game theory wiskunde mathematics kunstmatige intelligentie artificial intelligence bedrijfsinformatiesystemen management information systems computernetwerken computer networks Management studies, Business Administration, Organizational Science (General) Economics (General) Management, bedrijfskunde, organisatiekunde (algemeen) Economie (algemeen) Notes Ph.
