报告摘要：The Distributed Systems (DS) resources allocation  problem can be modeled using Game Theory (GT), where users (represented by agents) compete for resources. Individual users’ optimization schemes had been proposed in the past to model this problem  (by H. Kameda et al).   However, our group were the first to propose a GT model (with a finite number of players) for this problem inspired by   S. Nash’s GT in economics . We proposed original algorithms to compute the solution (proved to a Nash equilibrium), which are distributed and scalable. The new algorithms improve the system's utilization  and guarantee Quality of Service guarantees (QoS) (‘fair allocation’) in terms of delivered performance to the users.

For DS in which all the jobs belong to a single user (single-class), we used a cooperative game to model the load balancing problem which takes the average system information into account (static load balancing). The solution is based on the Nash Bargaining Solution which provides a Pareto optimal solution for the distributed system and is also a fair solution. Applications of the proposed GT algorithms have been extended  and applied to Cloud and Grid Computing.
