    	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).
