DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: We address the VM provisioning and allocation problem in clouds by designing=0Aa novel combinatorial auction-based provisioning and allocation mechanism that=0Aproduces an efficient allocation of resources yielding high profits for the cloud provider.=0AThe proposed mechanism, called CA-PROVISION, treats the set of available=0Acomputing resource as `liquid' resources that can be=0Aconfigured into different numbers and types of VM instances depending on the=0Arequests of the users. The mechanism provisions and allocates VM instances=0Abased on the users' valuations and the=0Areserve prices determined by the operating cost of the resources.=0AWe evaluate our mechanism by performing extensive simulation experiments=0Ausing traces of real workload from Parallel Workload Archive.=0AThe results show that CA-PROVISION effectively captures the market demand,=0Aprovisions the computing resources to match the demand, and generates high=0Arevenue for the cloud provider.=0A=0AWe plan to prepare a 4'X3' poster for presentation.
