 Resource Allocation in Cloud Computing Using the Uncertainty Principle of Game Theory

 Virtualization of resources on the cloud offers a scalable means of consuming services beyond the capabilities of small systems. In a cloud that offers infrastructure such as processor, memory, hard disk, etc., a coalition of virtual machines formed by grouping two or more may be needed. Economical management of cloud resources needs allocation strategies with minimum wastage, while configuring services ahead of actual requests. We propose a resource allocation mechanism for machines on the cloud, based on the principles of coalition formation and the uncertainty principle of game theory.
