Renting a Cloud
We consider the problem of efficiently scheduling jobs on data centers to minimize the cost of renting machines from “the cloud.” In the most basic cloud service model, cloud providers offer computers on demand from large pools installed in data centers. Clients pay for use at an hourly rate. In order to minimize cost, each client needs to decide on the number of machines to be rented and the d...
متن کاملExperiments with Software Renting
The Coase Conjecture (1972) has generated a large literature on the pricing of durable goods by monopolists. The theoretical predictions span a whole range with nearly perfect competition at one end and nearly perfect price discrimination at the other. An empirical test is therefore of importance. We test the Coase conjecture in an experimental setting and report on the results. We also test th...
متن کاملBuying, Sharing and Renting Information Goods*
Information goods such as books, journals, computer software, music and videos can be copied, shared, resold, or rented. When such opportunities for sharing are present, the content producer will generally sell a smaller amount at a higher price which may increase or decrease pro¢ts.

This paper studies a sharing system that includes two types of stations. The first category contains stations that users can rent or return back bicycles and each bicycle can be rented by any n...
متن کاملAn Architectural Pattern for Developing Renting Systems An Architectural Pattern for Developing Renting Systems
Despite the fact that renting is, to some extend, an application dependent activity, it is still possible to extract many fundamental common aspects that if captured in an appropriate conceptual level, a stable renting model can be developed and reused to build a wide range of renting systems. In this paper we propose an architectural pattern that model the renting problem. This pattern aims to...
