ABSTRACT
This paper establishes a two-tier cloud computing service supply chain model composed of an application infrastructure provider (AIP) and an application service provider (ASP). Aiming at the pricing problem of cloud computing service supply chain computing capacity, the queuing model of cloud computing service supply chain is established. Afterwards, we analyze the profitability of supply chain members and design a two-part tariff to make the leasing price of cloud computing service be agreed on. Finally, the validity of two-part tariff is verified by numerical analysis.

Coordination of Cloud Computing Service Supply Chain With Option Contracts
ICICM '17: Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Information Communication and ManagementIn this paper, we set up a newsboy problem with option contract and partial service delay within the cloud computing service supply chain. This paper uses the option contract to coordinate the situation which the demand may exceed the initial order ...
The pricing decisions for the cloud service supply chain: service quality and power structure
The cloud service supply chain is a current paradigm that enables cloud service to meet the complex and diverse combination needs of cloud users and promote the development of the cloud computing industry. In this research, we construct a two-level supply ...
Nonlinear Pricing of Information Goods
This paper analyzes optimal pricing for information goods under incomplete information, when both unlimited-usage (fixed-fee) pricing and usage-based pricing are feasible and administering usage-based pricing may involve transaction costs. It is shown ...
