BRAIN Journal-Intelligent Continuous Double Auction method For Service Allocation in Cloud Computing-Figure 1. Resource allocation schema in proposed method

<p>We assume that the resources allocation satisfies the following conditions:<br> &bull; The quantity of a resource can be measured in arbitrary units (e.g. 60 units of resource<br> A).<br> &bull; A resource can be divided into an arbitrary fraction (e.g. a resource of 60 units is divided<br> into 20 units for consumer 1 and 40 units for consumer 2).<br> &bull; A resource request of a service can be divided into sub-requests and acquired from<br> multiple providers (e.g. a resource request of 40 units utilized as 10 units from provider<br> 1 and 30 units from provider 2).<br> Figure 1 shows a cloud computing environment with the proposed mechanism.</p>
