Analysis and selection of the Simulation Environment

One of the main issues in the development of future Grid and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networksystems is the effcient provisioning of services and resources to network clients. Thisshould be done by a scalable, dynamic, and adaptable allocation mechanism. The overallobjective of the CATNETS project is to determine the applicability of a decentralizedeconomic self-organized mechanism for service and resource allocation to be used inApplication Layer Networks (ALN). The concept of ALN is an abstraction for both P2Pand Grid networks....
