Abstract

This work formulates the resource allocation problem on grids as a knapsack problem. The notion of utility is introduced, and it is used to effect allocation policies. Simulation results using a variety of allocation policies are presented and show that knapsack formulations optimally allocate resources congruent with the chosen policies.
