ACCORD addresses the need for robust, rapidly adaptive resource allocation mechanisms in cloud computing. It employs a distributed, game-theoretic approach to apportion computational loads in an efficient, prioritized, Pareto-optimal fashion among geographically dispersed cloud computing infrastructure. This paper describes ACCORD algorithms, software implementation, and initial experimental results. Our results illustrate how a distributed, ACCORD-enabled cloud architecture autonomously adapts
