Abstract:
With ever-increasing usage of cloud pattern, resources allocation in cloud environments is drawing an emerging importance. Due to nature of cloud environment, and in particular the presence of independent selfish agents, game theory is used as a modeling and problem solving tool in this field. Most of current cloud providers, use static pricing and rather long contracts in their provisioning and allocation process, which is in contrast with cloud’s elasticity principles. Various studies in this area, use game theory, and provide dynamic allocation and pricing mechanisms in form of auctions. An important shortcoming of these studies is oversight of distribution in cloud environment. This research studies the problem of resource allocation in cloud environment, and a powerful, efficient and practical mechanism has been presented as a solution to this challenging problem
