A resource allocation method based on the limited English combinatorial auction under cloud computing environment

On account of the resource characteristics under cloud computing environment and the flexibility and availability of applying economic mechanism to resource allocation, a resource allocation model based on the limited English combinatorial auction under cloud computing environment is advanced. An improved periodical auction model is constructed, and then ribbon capacity is adopted to describe the special storage capacity for special users. Based on the above, the resource trading price between resource buyers and resource providers is determined based on the limited English combinatorial auction model. In the end, the optimal resource allocation solution is pursued based on genetic algorithm. Simulation results have shown that the proposed model is both feasible and effective, which can maximize the seller total trading amounts as well as reduce the executing time of winner determination.
