Cloud Computing Lecture 2 – Resource Allocation and Fairness

In this lecture, we examine the problem of “resource allocation and fairness”, choosing how to share finite resources among K users. Specifically, we go through (i) the welfare maximization problem, (ii) max-min fairness, proportional fairness and alpha fairness, and (iii) dominant resource fairness.
