Abstract:
Time dependent energy tariffs are a matter of concern to managers in organisations, who need to rethink how to allocate resources to business processes so that they take into account energy costs. However, due to the time-dependent costs, the resource optimisation problem needs to be redesigned. In this paper we formalise the energy-aware resource allocation problem, including time-dependent variable costs; and present a case study in which an auction mechanism is used to find a solution. Our results show how the choice of cost (energy, monetary, or duration) affects the schedules obtained.

Subject: INSTICC/SCITEPRESS Indexed Papers
Dear Stephen Cranefield
Thanks for being an author of a previous INSTICC/SCITEPRESS conference.
We believe it is our responsibility to try to make the papers that we publish as visible as possible, in order to promote the work of authors (your research work) and increase potential collaborations amongst authors.
Here is the current indexation status:
- "Towards Energy-Aware Optimisation of Business Processes" (paper #11 @ SMARTGREENS 2014) was indexed in: dblp, SCOPUS
We are actively trying to index your papers in Google Scholar but, because Google Scholar usually takes a lot of time, we hereby formally authorize you to include a copy of your papers in the public repository of your Institution/University. This may speed up the indexation process. It is not a problem if a paper is indexed from two repositories: your institution’s and ours at SCITEPRESS.
If you have any questions or suggestions I am at your disposal.
Best regards,
Vitor Pedrosa
