讲座题目：Seen As Stable Marriages
讲座摘要：
In this talk, we advocate the use of stable matching framework in solving problems in cloud computing, which are traditionally solved using utility-based optimization. Born in economics, stable matching efficiently resolves conflicts of interest among selfish agents in the market, with a simple and elegant procedure of deferred acceptance. We illustrate through two technical case studies how it can be applied in practical scenarios where the impeding complexity of idiosyncratic factors makes defining a utility function difficult. Due to its use of generic preferences, stable matching has the potential of offering efficient and practical solutions to resource allocation problems in cloud computing, while its mathematical structure and rich literature in economics provide many opportunities for theoretical studies. In closing, we discuss ongoing challenges when applying the stable matching framework to solve practical problems.
