Abstract
Computer systems and computer-implemented methods are configured to assign limited resources such as cloud or other computing resources to objects such as networks of computers having demands for the resources. Efficiencies are optimized by assigning the objects based upon an intra-network score and an inter-network score, both of which may include an associated network density and/or an associated metric, and may be based on information received from electronic records. The metric may be a parameter relating to a factor or other characteristic that is desired to be optimized by the assignments. For example, the metric may be related to costs of communications between the computers of a network.
