A greedy resource allocation algorithm is understood as an algorithm according to which the resource allocation process can be represented as a sequence of steps. At each step, an optimal, under certain conditions, distribution of a part of the resources occurs, which does not change in the future. The problem of improving the quality of the organization of the educational process in a higher educational institution is solved on the basis of the use of greedy algorithms. A well-designed timetable should ensure an even workload of student groups and faculty. The purpose of this work is to develop an algorithm that can improve the quality of the formation of the educational schedule based on the use of greedy algorithms.

Device-to-Device (D2D) underlaying communication system is a solution in reducing the workload of eNodeB and increasing the system data rate. This communication system consists of two users, namely Cellular User Equipment (CUE) and D2D pair, where CUE will share its resources with the D2D pair. This sharing resources also causes interference and should be managed using the resource allocation algorithm. In this work, the resource allocation scheme occurs in a single cell with an uplink communication direction. The resource allocation process uses greedy and joint greedy algorithms. After CUE allocates all of its resources, SARSA algorithm performs the power allocation process. The resource allocation process involves the scheduled CUE and D2D pair. After all the resource and power are allocated, parameter performance of the system is calculated. Based on the work results, joint greedy algorithm with power allocation using SARSA algorithm have performance results 1.375 × 107 bps/Watt in energy efficiency, 43.105 bps/Hz in spectral efficiency, and 0.993 in D2D fairness index.

Highway agencies face a dilemma in determining the appropriate balance of resurfacing and safety improvements in their programs to maintain the structural integrity and ride quality of highway pavements. Highway agencies currently lack a tool that would allow them to determine which sites should be resurfaced without accompanying safety improvements and which sites should be resurfaced and improved in other ways that would enhance safety. A resource allocation process that maximizes the benefits from resurfacing and safety improvements within a specified improvement budget can provide such a tool. A resource allocation process that accomplishes this goal has been developed and implemented in a software tool known as the Resurfacing Safety Resource Allocation Program (RSRAP). RSRAP uses an optimization process based on integer programming to determine which improvement alternatives (or combinations of alternatives) would optimize the benefits for a specified set of improvement projects. RSRAP incorporates the best available estimates of the safety effectiveness of specific geometric and safety improvements. RSRAP also gives consideration to the potential effects of resurfacing on vehicle speeds and on safety. The goal of the optimization process is not to optimize safety at any particular site but to optimize systemwide safety for a given set of resurfacing projects while not exceeding a user-specified improvement budget.

The article (a case) highlights the experience of the regional university in staff optimization caused by the requirements of federal legislation to improve the quality of higher education and to outline the personnel strategy prospects for the future.The methodological basis of the study is the systematic approach, which made it possible to comprehensively assess the qualitative changes in the university staff; the use of the method of situational analysis largely contributed to an increase in the objectivity of the results obtained. Besides, the researchers used the following methods: the study of legislative documents that determine the activities of a higher educational institution; the analysis of theoretical papers on the management of educational institutions and on human resource management; the method of mathematical modelling and the analysis of statistical data, the method of social forecasting.The study comes to be theoretically significant, as it clarifies the concept of «staff optimization» and introduces the concept of «university staff optimization» as a new scientific term. The research also distinguishes the basic principles of university staff optimization and substantiates the reasons that caused this process, mainly related to the demographic, social and economic situation in our country and the tasks of reforming the higher education system. The article also examines the concept of «university personnel strategy» and highlights its components, focused on preserving academic traditions, on creating conditions for increasing the staff competency and on encouraging the faculty to intensify their activity. On the example of the regional university, there is carried out an analysis of quantitative and qualitative changes in the educational process staffing (in terms of academic degrees and titles, faculty compliance with the profile of the disciplines taught, etc.); the effectiveness of a number of new mechanisms introduced into the universities’ practice in order to update the requirements for the selection of candidates for teaching positions is studied. Thus appearing to be scientifically significant, the paper presents a regional university staff optimization model, which includes several logically related stages, allowing this process to be carried out most effectively: scientific, normative, practical and social. The recommendations to improve the personnel strategy and systematically enhance the quality of personnel in the educational process are formulated.The work is original, as it shows the systemic nature of work with the faculty when optimizing the staff in accordance with the university’s personnel strategy. The article might be of use for university leaders and researchers working on personnel issues and personnel management.


In real-time multimedia usage the resource allocation for the modern communication is very much needed in-order to overcome certain problems or degradation happening in the communication channels. The quality of the communication is reduced due to the TVWS (Television White Space), variable BER signal requires variable channel allocation procedures and Qos depends on the various applications. These problems in the OFDM should be corrected continuously by keeping track of channel situation so that to provide a long term video streaming in good QoS. The energy distribution for the video is high the application requirement is higher also the occurrence of multiple BER will leads to the challenging environment to control. The main objective of this paper is to enhance a Game theory based algorithm incorporated with demand optimization algorithm and scheduling algorithm for machine learning to take decision in nonlinear space, which results in a system with good channel awareness and an adaptive resource allocation process. The effect of interference due to this procedure is checked and accordingly allocations are done

Device-to-Device (D2D) communications, which enable direct communication between nearby user devices over the licensed spectrum, have been considered a key technique to improve spectral efficiency and system throughput in cellular networks (CNs). However, the limited spectrum resources cannot be sufficient to support more cellular users (CUs) and D2D users to meet the growth of the traffic data in future wireless networks. Therefore, Long-Term Evolution-Unlicensed (LTE-U) and D2D-Unlicensed (D2D-U) technologies have been proposed to further enhance system capacity by extending the CUs and D2D users on the unlicensed spectrum for communications. In this paper, we consider an LTE network where the CUs and D2D users are allowed to share the unlicensed spectrum with Wi-Fi users. To maximize the sum rate of all users while guaranteeing each user’s quality of service (QoS), we jointly consider user access and resource allocation. To tackle the formulated problem, we propose a matching-iteration-based joint user access and resource allocation algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly improve system throughput compared to the other benchmark algorithms.
