ABSTRACT::
	In this paper, we present a decentralized algorithm for
determining how resources should be allocated to sites.  This
algorithm is general in the sense that it can be used for allocating
different kinds of resources.  This algorithm can be applied either
statically, used on a quiescent system, or used dynamically as the
system runs.  Throughout, we consider only systems in which a resource
has a fixed cost associated with it regardless of where it may be
located (i.e.  the system is homogeneous).
