Abstract
Market-based distributed resource allocation techniques are provided for edge-cloud systems. One method comprises obtaining an application request at a given edge node in a multi-tier environment comprising cloud resources and multiple edge nodes. The edge nodes host a plurality of virtual nodes to process the application request. The application request is assigned to at least one of the virtual nodes based on a utility value of each virtual node. The utility value of each virtual node is based on a cost value representing a total cost incurred by each virtual node to process the application request. The utility value of each virtual node is optionally further based on a priority value of the application request. Master nodes from different edge node groups can collaborate to identify a given edge node group that can serve the application request when local edge nodes are unable to process the at least one application request.
