MDP based optimal pricing for a cloud computing queueing model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the optimization of dynamic pricing in a queueing model with a finite buffer, where arrival rates depend on advertised price levels.We apply our study to a pricing policy in a cloud computing service provider setup. The main result of this paper is the multi-threshold structure of the optimal policy. © 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Dynamic pricing and scheduling in a multi-class single-server queueing system
This paper investigates an optimal sequencing and dynamic pricing problem for a two-class queueing system. Using a Markov Decision Process based model, we obtain structural characterizations of optimal policies. In particular, it is shown that the optimal pricing policy depends on the entire queue length vector but some monotonicity results prevail as the composition of this vector changes. A n...

متن کاملMaximum revenue-oriented resource allocation in cloud
Cloud computing is distinguished from such conventional computing paradigms as grid computing and cluster computing in that it provides a practical business model for customers to use the resources remotely. It is natural for service providers to allocate the pooled cloud resources dynamically among the differentiated customers to maximise their revenue. This paper addresses the problem of the ...
