Pricing the cloud: an adaptive brokerage for cloud computing

Using a multi-agent social simulation model to predict the behavior of cloud computing markets, Rogers & Cliff (RC cloud users access cheaper rates offered by brokers; and cloud brokers generate profit from charging fees. Here, we replicate and extend the simulation model of RC simulation; cloud computing; brokerage
