    摘要: A resource assignment capability is presented. A resource specification associated with a plurality of elements is received. The resource specification includes, for each of the elements, a resource request including an indication of a quantity of resources requested by the element and a resource offer including an indication of a quantity of resources offered by the element for use by one or more other elements. A resource assignment, including an indication of an association between the resources requests and the resource offers, is determined using a resource assignment process. The resource assignment process may be a greedy assignment process or a maximum flow resource assignment process. The maximum flow resource assignment process includes constructing a maximum flow resource graph based on the one or more resource specifications and applying a maximum flow process to the maximum flow resource graph to determine thereby the resource assignment.
