Dynamic Resource Allocation
Markets for Dynamic Computational Resources
I look at markets where buyers and sellers/resources come and go over time. A contrary example is eBay: to sell a good, the second price auction requires all bids are submitted at a set time. But in applications like sharing a private cloud or an display ad slot, we need new auction mechanisms that don’t really “end” but can run on-demand.
