Basar, Tamer Maheswaran, Rajiv Tharmeswaran 2015-09-25T20:08:20Z 2015-09-25T20:08:20Z 10000-01-01 2003 2003 Developments in information technology have necessitated dynamic distributed real-time allocation of computational and network resources. We consider the use of market mechanisms to regulate a set of autonomous agents that are responsible for obtaining services. By applying game-theoretic analysis to a proportionally fair divisible auction, we show the existence of a unique Nash equilibrium in both single and multiple resource settings. Locally stable decentralized negotiation algorithms are developed for both cases. We also investigate the effects of coalition formation and show that the standard assumptions from classical cooperative game theory for determining the value of a team do not apply. Finally, we examine a larger space of mechanisms and optimize with respect to revenue generation and social welfare. This leads to the design of transparent and maximally efficient resource allocation schemes which have the minimum costs for signaling and computation.
