Multi-Unit Combinatorial Auction based Grid Resource Co-allocation Approach

Abstract

In grid system, many users compete for various type and amount of resources to complete user application or tasks, which requires grid resource management system to support co-allocation requests. Combinatorial auction has been argued as an effective economic mechanism to have advantages in resource trading and configuration. In order to allocate resources appropriately and reasonably, we propose a multi-unit combinatorial auction based grid resource co-allocation approach in this paper, by optimizing benefits of auction with an adopted heuristic algorithm, economic efficiency and effectiveness of performance on resources management and deployment can be obtained.
