Application Of Probabilistic Ranking Systems On Women’S Junior Division Beach Volleyball, Cameron Stewart, Michael Mazel, Bivin Sadler

SMU Data Science Review

Women’s beach volleyball is one of the fastest growing collegiate sports today. The increase in popularity has come with an increase in valuable scholarship opportunities across the country. With thousands of athletes to sort through, college scouts depend on websites that aggregate tournament results and rank players nationally. This project partnered with the company Volleyball Life, who is the current market leader in the ranking space of junior beach volleyball players. Utilizing the tournament information provided by Volleyball Life, this study explored replacements to the current ranking systems, which are designed to aggregate player points from recent tournament placements. Three …


Game-Based Resource Allocation And Task Offloading Scheme In Collaborative Cloud-Edge Computing System, Xuewen Wu, Jingxian Liao Jul 2022

Game-Based Resource Allocation And Task Offloading Scheme In Collaborative Cloud-Edge Computing System, Xuewen Wu, Jingxian Liao

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Considering the delay, energy consumption and computing resource cost, the utility maximization problem in collaborative cloud-edge system is constructed, and divided into three subproblems: computing resource allocation, uplink power allocation and task offloading strategy. A game-based resource allocation and task offloading(GRATO) scheme is proposed to solve those subproblems. The optimal solution of computing resource allocation is obtained by using convex optimization conditions; a low complexity uplink power allocation method is designed to reduce wireless interfere; a game-based distributed task offloading algorithm (GDTOA) is proposed to optimize the task offloading strategy. Simulation results show that the performance of GRATO is …
