While there is oligopolistic concentration of multimedia groups, there is, at the same time, market segmentation

Abstract. Many organisms search for limiting resources by using repeated responses to local cues, which cumulatively cause movement towards more favorable parts of their environment. This paper presents a general asymptotic expression, derived under the assumption of shallow environmental gradients

with the highest unemployment rate in the group aged 25-29 are the same with the worst results in PISA 2009 and 2012. On the other hand, in Italy only 22.4% of the age group 30-34 hold a university degree or similar. The increase of 6.8 points between 2004 and 2013 is not adequate to reach the target of 40% set

(MMOGs) can include millions of concurrent players spread across the world and interacting with each other within a single session. Faced with high resource demand variability and with misfit resource renting policies, the current industry practice is to over-provision for each game tens of self-owned data centres, making the market entry affordable only for big companies. Focusing on the reduction of entry and operational costs, we investigate a new dynamic resource provisioning method for MMOG operation using external data centres as low-cost resource providers. First, we identify in the various types of player interaction a source of short-term load variability, which complements the long-term load variability due to the size of the player population. Then, we introduce a combined MMOG processor, network, and memory load model that takes into account both the player interaction type and the population
