## Abstract (arXiv)

With the evolution of cloud computing, there has been a rise of large enterprises extending their infrastructure and workloads into the public cloud. This paper proposes a full-fledged framework for a Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) multi-agent-based cloud marketplace system for cloud resources. Each party in the cloud marketplace system supports a BDI agent for autonomous decision making and negotiation to facilitate automated buying and selling of resources. Additionally, multiple BDI agents from an enterprise competing for the same cloud resource can consult with each other via Master Negotiation Clearing House to minimize the overall cost function for the enterprise while negotiating for a cloud resource. The cloud marketplace system is further augmented with assignments of behavior norm and reputation index to the agents to facilitate trust among them.
