We present a cloud resource procurement approach which not only automates the selection
of an appropriate cloud vendor but also implements dynamic pricing. Three possible …

In this paper, we present a game theoretic approach to solve the static load balancing
problem for single-class and multi-class (multi-user) jobs in a distributed system where the …

Distributed system resources have become prevalent in ICT departments to lessen the
burden of huge expenses incurred by very expensive storage computer systems. Add to this …

In hybrid cloud computing, cloud users have the ability to procure resources from multiple
cloud vendors, and furthermore also the option of selecting different combinations of …

Game theory provides a mathematical tool for the analysis of distributed decision making
interactions between agents with conflicting interests. We apply game theory for distributed …

The current global emphasis on “Internet of Things (IoT)” have highlighted the extreme
importance of sensor-based intelligent and ubiquitous systems which are more commonly …

Since Grid computing systems involve large-scale resource sharing, resource management
is central to their operations. Whereas there are more Grid resource management systems …

Edge computing has become a major trend in networking research. The rapid growth in the
number of data analytics based mobile applications has resulted in an exponential rise in …

Today's distributed computing systems incorporate different types of nodes with varied
bandwidth constraints which should be considered while designing cost-optimal job …

This article proposes a novel grid resource allocation model, in which the users and the grid
service providers participate in the combinatorial double auction for the resource allocation …
