With the rapid growth of the cloud computing marketplace, the issue of pricing resources in the cloud has been the subject of much study in recent years. In this paper, we identify and study a new issue: how to price resources in the cloud…

Quantum cloud computing is a promising paradigm for efficiently provisioning quantum resources (i.e., qubits) to users. In quantum cloud computing, quantum cloud providers provision quantum resources in reservation and on-demand plans for…

Cloud computing and virtualization solutions allow one to rent the virtual machines (VMs) needed to run applications on a pay-per-use basis, but rented VMs do not offer any guarantee on their performance. Cloud platforms are known to be…

In hardware virtualization a hypervisor provides multiple Virtual Machines (VMs) on a single physical system, each executing a separate operating system instance. The hypervisor schedules execution of these VMs much as the scheduler in an…

Cloud Computing has emerged as a successful computing paradigm for efficiently utilizing managed compute infrastructure such as high speed rack-mounted servers, connected with high speed networking, and reliable storage. Usually such…

In this paper, an approach to evaluate the benefits of demand flexibility for Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) is presented. The flexible demands chosen in this study are part of a renewable energy source-based VPP that participates in Day-Ahead…

The utilization of paging for virtual machine (VM) memory management is the root cause of memory virtualization overhead. This paper shows that paging is not necessary in the hypervisor. In fact, memory fragmentation, which explains paging…

On-demand and resource reservation pricing models have been widely used in cloud computing, catering to different user requirements. Nevertheless, in Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC), as the edge has limited resources compared to the…

Amazon Locker is a self-service delivery or pickup location where customers can pick up packages and drop off returns. A basic first-come-first-served policy for accepting package delivery requests to lockers results in lockers becoming…

Unexpected advertising items in sponsored search may reduce users' reliance on organic search, resulting in hidden cost for the e-commerce platform. To address this problem and promote sustainable growth, we propose a dynamic reserve price…

Existing VM placement schemes have measured their effectiveness solely by looking either Physical Machine's resources(CPU, memory) or network resource. However, real applications use all resource types to varying degrees. The result of…

User demand on the computational resources of cloud computing platforms varies over time. These variations in demand can be predictable or unpredictable, resulting in `bursty' fluctuations in demand. Furthermore, demand can arrive in…

Cloud vendors offer discounted spot instances to maximize surplus resource utilization, but these instances are subject to the risk of sudden interruption. Traditional pricing datasets have been employed to predict this risk, yet recent…

We study the problem of scheduling VMs (Virtual Machines) in a distributed server platform, motivated by cloud computing applications. The VMs arrive dynamically over time to the system, and require a certain amount of resources (e.g.…

Serverless computing platforms currently rely on basic pricing schemes that are static and do not reflect customer feedback. This leads to significant inefficiencies from a total utility perspective. As one of the fastest-growing cloud…

Modern industry-scale data centers need to manage a large number of virtual machines (VMs). Due to the continual creation and release of VMs, many small resource fragments are scattered across physical machines (PMs). To handle these…

Automated market makers (AMMs) have emerged as the dominant market mechanism for trading on decentralized exchanges implemented on blockchains. This paper presents a single mechanism that targets two important unsolved problems for AMMs:…

In the context of energy market clearing, non-merchant assets are assets that do not submit bids but whose operational constraints are included. Integrating energy storage systems as non-merchant assets can maximize social welfare. However,…

Storage is expected to be a critical source of firming in low-carbon grids. A common concern raised from ex-post assessments is that storage resources can fail to respond to strong price signals during times of scarcity. While commonly…

Cloud storage is fast securing its role as a major repository for both consumers and business customers. Many companies now offer storage solutions, sometimes for free for limited amounts of capacity. We have surveyed the pricing plans of a…
