Abstract:
Based on a review of most recent data analyses on resource selection by animals as well as on recent suggestions that indicate the lack of an unified statistical theory that shows how resource selection can be detected and measured, the authors suggest that the concept of resource selection function (RSF) can be the base for the development of a theory. The revision of discrete choice models (DCM) is suggested as an approximation to estimate the RSF when the choice of animal or groups of animals involves different sets of available resource units. The definition of RSF requires that the resour

Abstract:
Strategic Human Resource Management is focused on the human capital as a strategic resource in achieving sustainable competitive advantage. Recruitment and selection may just be a stage in the HR function for an organization, but the potential significance of manifestation on an organization's performance, effectiveness and productivity is undeniable. Performance is clearly depicted as dependent upon selection, appraisal, rewards and development, in achieving person-job-organization fit (PJO Fit). The purpose of this research is to examine the approaches to selection or assessment methods being employed by companies in Malaysia, specifically among multi-national companies and small medium enterprises as a basis in their decision-making process. The findings of this research suggest that the majority of Malaysian organizations neither wholeheartedly accept nor reject an analytic approach but favors a hybridization approach to selection where there is a blending of both analytic and intuitive model which provides an acceptably holistic approach in their hiring judgment.

Abstract:
Although many studies, such as Ball (2001), Chapman and Webster (2003), and West and Berman (2001) have shown how e-recruiting and e-selection, e-reward and e-relations, and e-training and e-development can be used at an human resource management (HRM) resourcing, administrative, or learning-level, respectively, the formulation of e-HRM strategies relating HRM policies with business performance have been largely neglected (Lengnick-Hall & Moritz, 2003). The major contributing factor to this negligence may be the difficulty in developing a framework that distinguishes between context, configuration, and consequences of e-HRM, due to the fact that e-HRM is functioning at different but complex and interrelated levels (Strohmeier, 2007). In this article, the inclusion of e-resourcing, and more specifically e-recruiting and e-selection, in an HRM-performance linkage model is presented. Considering that the initial intention of the development of HRM-performance linkage models was not to serve e-HRM, the scope of this article is to adapt an HRM-performance linkage model to e-HRM. To do this, an integrative framework for understanding the link between Human Resource Management and Business Performance is presented and then the integration of e-resourcing in this framework is proposed, providing thus new knowledge on effective e-HRM performance linkage models.

Abstract:
Grid computing has emerged as the next generation computing platform. Because of the resource heterogeneity that exists in the grid environment, user jobs experience variable performance. Grid job scheduling, or selection of appropriate mappings between resources and the application, with the goal of leveraging available capacity and imposed requirements is thus at the heart of successful grid utilization. Grid job scheduling can be viewed as a function of resource heterogeneity, resource and application availability, and application options. This chapter presents work that incorporates all of these factors to provision and present individual users with alternative job options in terms of cost and time tradeoffs. Inherently, this leads to more effective scheduling policies. To support these aims, a framework is introduced with a novel scheduling methodology that introduces new user-scheduler interaction levels and a new layer of scheduling that includes application parameter selection and parameter value optimization.

It is shown that the problem lies in constructing an adequate objective function for optimization of the resources distribution under their limitations. For solving the considered problem, the multicriteria optimization approach is undertaken with the nonlinear trade-off scheme. The proposed nonlinear compromise scheme has the property to adapt to the situation of multicriteria decision-making. The adaptation to the situation of a nonlinear scheme is carried out continuously, while the traditional selection of compromise schemes is done discretely that adds to subjective errors the errors, associated with the quantization compromise schemes.

<i>Abstract.</i>—Linking landscape features, both natural and human-altered, to aquatic ecosystem structure and function is a fundamental objective in landscape ecology and freshwater science, but this process is data- and resource-intensive. Quantifying how landscape stressors influence aquatic communities requires balancing logistic and financial constraints with effectively sampling the landscape to capture gradients of interest. There are a variety of ways to balance these constraints, such as using existing data, handpicked site selection, or a statistical site-selection scheme. Poor sampling design reduces statistical power; however, we do not know how differences in site-selection designs influence our ability to measure ecological responses to landscape gradients. We quantified how the distribution of sample sites across landscape gradients affected the measured responses of stream fish assemblages to these gradients at different sample sizes. Specifically, we used randomization tests to compare the variability in the responses of fish assemblage structure (species richness and composition) to catchment area and land use (agricultural land) with manipulated distributions (random, highly skewed, and uniform) of sites across these landscape gradients. Assemblage composition was more sensitive than species richness to sampling design, and we observed less variability in the detected response of assemblage composition when samples were distributed uniformly across landscape gradients, especially when sample sizes were small. Although strong responses to environmental gradients, such as species richness to catchment area, are robust to sampling distributions, large sample size and a uniform distribution of samples might help elucidate more subtle responses to environmental gradients.

Abstract:
The era of cloud computing allowed the instant scale up of provided services into massive capacities without the need for investing in any new on site infrastructure. Hence, the interest of this type of services has been increased, in particular, by medium scale entities who can afford to completely outsource their data-center and their infrastructure. In addition, large companies may wish to provide support for wide range of load capacities, including peak ones, however, this will require very higher costs in order to build larger data centers internally. Cloud services can provide services for these companies according to their need whether in peak load capacity of low ones. Therefore, resource sharing and provisioning is considered one of the most challenging problems in cloud based services since these services have become more numerous and dynamic. As a result, assigning tasks and services requests into available resources has become a persistent problem in cloud computing, given the large number of variables, and the increasing types of services, demand, and requirement. Scheduling services using a limited number of resources is problem that has been under study since the evolution of cloud computing. However, there are several open areas for improvements due to the large number of optimization variables. In general, the scheduling of services on available resources is considered NP complete. As a result, several heuristic based methods were proposed in order to enhance the efficiency of cloud systems. Since the problem has several optimization parameters, there are still several improvements that can be done in this area. This chapter discusses the formalization of the problem of scheduling multiple tasks by single user and multiple users, and then presents a proposed solution for each individual case. First, an algorithm is presented and evaluated for optimum schedule that allocates a number of subtasks on a given number of resources; the algorithm was shown to be linear vs. number of users. Then, an algorithm is presented to address the problem of multiple users allocations, each, with multiple subtasks. The algorithm was design using the single user allocation algorithm as a selection function. Since, this problem is known to be NP complete, heuristic based methods are usually used in order to provide better solutions. Therefore, a green evolutionary based algorithm is proposed in order to address the problem of resource allocation with large number of users. In addition, the algorithm presents allocation schedule with better utility, while the execution time is linear vs. different parameters. The results obtained in this work show that it overcomes the outcome of one of the most efficient algorithms presented in this regard that was based on game theory. Further, this method works with no restrictions on the problem parameters as opposed to game theory methods that require certain parameters restrictions on cost vector or compaction time matrix. On the other hand, the main limitation of the proposed algorithm is that it is only applicable to the scheduling problem of multiple tasks that has one price vector and one execution time vector. However, scheduling multiple users, each with subtasks that have their own price and execution time vector, is very complex problem and beyond the scope of this work, hence it will be addressed in future work.

The selection of a class involves setup costs and resource consumptions thus affecting both the objective function and the capacity constraint. The mixed linear relaxation can be viewed as driving problem, where it is solved by using a special blackbox solver while the loca

Abstract:
Recent developments of the Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) applications have tendency to use one integrated model for Level 1 both internal and external events. In this approach external events logic models are mapped on internal model. Some relevant aspects related to selection of seismic initiating events, seismic sequences, seismic basic events, fragility analysis, development of seismic logic model and seismic quantification are discussed in the paper. Development of seismic model mapped on internal PRA model may require to define seismic basic events (and associated switches) that may

Abstract:
The ideas of on-demand, scalable and pay-for-usage resource-sharing in Cloud Manufacturing are steadily attracting more interest. For implementing the concept of Manufacturing-as-a-Service in a cloud environment, description models and implementation language for resources and their capabilities are required. A standardized approach for systemized virtualization, servisilisation, retrieval, selection and composition into higher levels of functionality is necessary. For the collaborative sharing and use of networked manufacturing resources there is also a need for a control approach for distrib

Abstract:
This paper presents the process and outcomes of the pilot introduction of Functional Analysis Diagram (FAD) as a design assist tool within a Small Medium Enterprise (SME). During this study, two sets of Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) sessions were conducted using the traditional and the proposed, FAD assisted (FMEA-FAD) method developed, aiming to optimize the failure mode selection phase of the process. The results have shown that the FMEA-FAD method has significantly improved the efficiency and the effectiveness of the process. They were also consistent with previous resea

Abstract:
Despite many advances in both optimization methods and computational fluid dynamics, the timely automatic selection and refinement, via physics-based and empirical methods, of “optimal” configurations of compression systems remains challenging. This is due, in part, to the large number of design parameters (with associated high computational cost) operating over wide ranges that can be non-smooth, if not discontinuous (to which many optimization algorithms, developed for smooth problems, are ill-suited). It is further complicated by the phasic nature of turbomachinery design and the associated
