        Most of the previous pricing models for cloud resources which are defined based on auction suffer from high implementation complexity in real cloud environments. Therefore, the main challenge for researchers is to design dynamic pricing models that can achieve three goals: 1) low computation complexity, 2) high accuracy, and 3) high implementation simplicity in real cloud environments. CMM (Cloud Market Maker) is one of the most popular dynamic pricing models that has two advantages of computation accuracy and the possibility to implement in the real cloud environments. This model calculates the bid price based on a linear function. In designing this linear function, the parameters: buyer’s urgency, number of competitors and number of opponents are considered. Despite the advantages of this pricing function, the importance ratio of the constructor parameters of it is considered the same in various market conditions. Ignoring this issue reduces both system flexibility and computation accuracy in tangible changes in the cloud market. Therefore, the authors of this paper focus on designing a new cloud market-aware intelligent pricing system (which developed in customer side of the market) to tackle the mentioned problem. At the same time, high implementation simplicity of the proposed system should be guaranteed. For this purpose, an agent-based intelligent pricing system by combining support vector machine (SVM) and hierarchical analysis process (AHP) techniques is proposed. Simulation results show the better performance of the proposed solution which is named as DPMA in comparison to CMM. Manuscript profile
