Edtaonisl I & II for large ensemble

Thesis (M.M.)--Boston UniversityEdtaonisl is a series of two works for a large ensemble. The first one requires 14 performers and the second one 15 performers. The first one was performed on the 19th of February 2012, in the Concert Hall of School of Music, Boston University by the ensemble Sound Icon and under the baton of the conductor Jeffrey Means. The second work was premiered by International Composers' Pyramid Ensemble (ICP) in UK and France on the 8th and 9th of December 2012 respectively under the baton of the conductor Philippe Nahon

Allocation of Heterogeneous Resources of an IoT Device to Flexible Services

Internet of Things (IoT) devices can be equipped with multiple heterogeneous network interfaces. An overwhelmingly large amount of services may demand some or all of these interfaces' available resources. Herein, we present a precise mathematical formulation of assigning services to interfaces with heterogeneous resources in one or more rounds. For reasonable instance sizes, the presented formulation produces optimal solutions for this computationally hard problem. We prove the NP-Completeness of the problem and develop two algorithms to approximate the optimal solution for big instance sizes. The first algorithm allocates the most demanding service requirements first, considering the average cost of interfaces resources. The second one calculates the demanding resource shares and allocates the most demanding of them first by choosing randomly among equally demanding shares. Finally, we provide simulation results giving insight into services splitting over different interfaces for both cases.Comment: IEEE Internet of Things Journa
