Univ. Sci. Technol. Beijing (Chin. Ed.) 29, No. 5, 548-552 (2007).} \itemab Summary: A sealed inverse-auction method of resource allocation for computational grids was proposed considering the dynamic, heterogeneous and autonomous characteristics of computing resources in the computational grid environment and the advantages of economics mechanism applied to solve the problem of resource management. A grid service market framework for resource allocation in the computational grid environment was described. A sealed inverse-auction mechanism centered on users and driven by user's needs was presented. The aim was to maximize the total system utility while the QoS requirement of users were fulfilled. Bayes equilibrium point and strategy, efficiency and utility in the Bayes equilibrium state were discussed. A utility function-based resource allocation arithmetic was presented. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{grid service; resource allocation; inverse auction; QoS; Bayes equilibrium; utility function} \itemli{} \end
