A non-additive negotiation model for utility computing markets
Mario Macías Lloret, Jordi Guitart · 2009
Market-based resource allocation is a promising model for dealing with the growing Util- ity Computing environments, such as Grid or Cloud Computing. Agents that represent both service clients and providers meet in a market to negotiate the terms of the sale of resources. Additive negotia- tion models are extended because they are simple, but they are not valid for negotiations whose terms are not independent between them. This paper proposes a simple non-additive model for performing negotia- tions and demonstrates its validity through simulation experiments.
