Query: Incentivizing Users of Data Centers Participate in The Demand Response
  Programs via Time-Varying Monetary Rewards   Demand response is widely employed by today's data centers to reduce energy
consumption in response to the increasing of electricity cost. To incentivize
users of data centers participate in the demand response programs, i.e.,
breaking the "split incentive" hurdle, some prior researches propose
market-based mechanisms such as dynamic pricing and static monetary rewards.
However, these mechanisms are either intrusive or unfair. In this paper, we use
time-varying rewards to incentivize users, who have flexible deadlines and are
willing to trading performance degradation for monetary rewards, grant
time-shifting of their requests. With a game-theoretic framework, we model the
game between a single data center and its users. Further, we extend our design
via integrating it with two other emerging practical demand response
strategies: server shutdown and local renewable energy generation. With
real-world data traces, we show that a DC with our design can effectively shed
its peak electricity load and overall electricity cost without reducing its
profit, when comparing it with the current practice where no incentive
mechanism is established.
