Coalition Formation and Combinatorial Auctions; Applications to Self-organization and Self-management in Utility Computing

Abstract: We propose a coalition formation protocol based on combinatorial auctions. The PC2P protocol could be at the heart of self-organization and self-management in utility computing where agents respond to reservation requests for packages of services. Individual supply agents do not posses sufficient resources to satisfy the requests made by consumer agents and must form coalitions. The protocol consists of two stages; the first one exploits spatial locality for the formation of sub-coalitions of supply agents; a Paxos-type ...
