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

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.
