Assessing GridSim for modeling the global distribution of next-generation astronomy data by Tunbridge, James K

“…The transfer of big data between geographic locations incurs various costs that are better managed when computing resources are used efficiently. Measuring the energy used by a computing facility is a mechanism for managing computational efficiency because the energy provided to the facility can be measured and managed. …”

Optimizing Repayment Strategies for Egyptian Construction Companies with Multiple Loans by Elkady, Moataz

“…In response, this research proposes a model for multiple loan repayment that considers the computational complexity involved. The model is built on the foundation of mixed integer linear programming and aims to establish an optimal repayment schedule by minimizing the total cash required to repay the loans, prioritizing the repayment of loans before personal expenses. …”
