Abstract

This paper is to solve optimal resource allocation in computational grid to optimise resource allocation for grid users and grid providers subject to various constraints. The grid user wants to get optimal benefits, at the same time, the grid provider adjusts the unit price in order to maximise revenue, which is measured as the sum of individual payments. The paper describes how the agents can be assigned proper utility functions to make a natural trade-off between money and resource. The paper proposes a grid resource pricing algorithm for allocating resources to grid users while maximising the revenue of grid providers.
