Proof-of-Concept Application - Annual Report Year 3

The Grid Market Middleware (GMM) design, implementation and early evaluation have beenthoroughly described in previous deliverables. Development in core GMM components (agenthosting, group communication, metric collection) has been frozen since Year 2, oncerequirements have been met. For this last year, effort has been switched to two main tasks:firstly, specifying and implementing a dedicated resource model amenable to detailedexperimentation with the prototype in a resource constrained environment; secondly, testingas many economic protocols as possible. So far we have implemented three differenteconomic algorithms in the same GMM substrate. We have demonstrated with this themodularity of the tool referred as Grid Market Middleware toolkit...
