Truthful Online Scheduling with Commitments
2015
Proceedings of the Sixteenth ACM Conference on Economics and Computation - EC '15
We study online mechanisms for preemptive scheduling with deadlines, with the goal of maximizing the total value of completed jobs. ...
In this paper, we construct a truthful scheduling mechanism with a constant competitive ratio, given slackness s > 1. ...
TRUTHFUL NON-COMMITTED SCHEDULING Our first goal is to design a truthful online scheduling mechanism under the deadline slackness assumption, without regard for commitments. ...

An Emergency Demand Response Mechanism for Cloud Computing
2016
Performance Evaluation Review
We propose an online auction for dynamic cloud resource provisioning under the EDR program, which runs in polynomial time, achieves truthfulness and close-to-optimal social welfare for the cloud ecosystem ...
We target a realistic EDR mechanism where: i) The cloud provider dynamically packs different types of resources on servers into requested VMs and computes job schedules to meet users' requirements; ii) ...
auction A online is shown in Alg. 1 with scheduling algorithm Acore in Alg. 2 running for each user. ...

Optimally Handling Commitment Issues in Online Throughput Maximization
2020
European Symposium on Algorithms
We consider a fundamental online scheduling problem in which jobs with processing times and deadlines arrive online over time at their release dates. ...
We present the first online algorithm for handling commitment on parallel machines for arbitrary slack ε. When the scheduler must commit upon starting a job, the algorithm is Θ(1/ε)-competitive. ...
Conclusion We close the major questions regarding online throughput maximization with and without commitment requirements and give an optimal online algorithm on identical parallel machines for the problem ...

Incentive Design for Ridesharing with Uncertainty
[article]
2015
arXiv
pre-print
Furthermore, we identify a sufficient and necessary condition under which our mechanism is ex-post truthful. ...
To circumvent this impossibility, we propose an ex-post truthful mechanism, the best incentive we can design without sacrificing social welfare in this setting. ...
i = drive indicates that i will drive and offer rides to some riders, r i = ride indicates that i will ride with other drivers, and r i = none indicates that i is not scheduled to travel with the others ...

Online Scheduling of Unit Length Jobs with Commitment and Penalties
[chapter]
2014
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We consider the online scheduling of unit length jobs with two models of commitment. In immediate notification, the acceptance of a job must be decided as soon as it is released. ...
Failure to honour a commitment will result in a penalty. The noncommitment version has been extensively studied. In this paper we give algorithms and lower bounds for the two models of commitment. ...
For the immediate mnotification model with separate arrival and starting times, any deterministic online algorithm is Ω(log ρ)-competitive. ...

Optimistic Scheduling with Geographically Replicated Services in the Cloud Environment (COLOR)
2012
2012 12th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Grid Computing (ccgrid 2012)
The solution differs from traditional Eventual Consistency models in that inconsistency is solved concurrently with online client-cloud interactions over strongly connected networks. ...
The proposed model thereby enables a generalized solution (COLOR) by which well-specified safety and timeliness guarantees are achievable in conjunction with tunable performance requirements. ...
The overall approach enables tunable performance with online conflict resolution and bounded inconsistency. ...

Operations Research
Our main result is a polynomial time, online mechanism that -assuming rational behavior of jobs-results in an equilibrium schedule that is 3.281-competitive with respect to the maximal social welfare. ...
We investigate such issues for a parallel machine scheduling model where jobs arrive online over time. ...
For any decentralized online scheduling mechanism with online payment scheme, every dominant strategy equilibrium is a myopic best response equilibrium. Proof. ...
