Title: Combinatorial Virtual Machine Auctions [cloud computing]
Abstract: This talk provides an overview of our recent work on designing combinatorial auctions for heterogeneous types of Virtual Machines (VMs) in a cloud computing platform. In particular, we introduce a randomized auction design technique, which may be of independent interest and can be applied in other settings of resource allocation problems. A quick overview of an online auction framework that turns a round-by-round VM auction into an online VM auction will also be covered.
