Editing Resource allocation (section)

==Algorithms==
Resource allocation may be decided by using [[computer programs]] applied to a specific domain to automatically and dynamically distribute resources to applicants.

This is especially common in electronic devices dedicated to routing and communication. For example, channel allocation in [[wireless]] communication may be decided by a [[base transceiver station]] using an appropriate [[algorithm]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mit.edu/~modiano/papers/C67.pdf |title=Wireless Channel Allocation Using An Auction Algorithm |access-date=2014-06-24}}</ref>

One class of resource whereby applicants bid for the best resource(s) according to their balance of "money", as in an [[online auction business model]] (see also [[auction theory]]).

In one paper on [[CPU]] [[time slice]] allocation<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.citeulike.org/user/zflavio/article/1043948 |title=Tycoon: A Distributed Market-based Resource Allocation System |publisher=Citeulike.org |date=2004-04-05 |access-date=2014-06-24}}</ref>
an auction algorithm is compared to [[proportional share scheduling]].
