Theoretical and computational basis for CATNETS : annual report ; 2.2006

In this work the self-organising potential of the CATNETS allocation mechanism is described to provide a more comprehensive view on the research done in this project. The formal description of either the centralised and decentralised approach is presented. Furthermore the agents' bidding model is described and a comprehensive overview on how the catallactic mechanism is incorporated into the middleware and simulator environments is given. -- Decentralized Market Mechanisms ; Centralized Market Mechanisms ; Catallaxy ; Market Engineering ; Simulator Integration ; Prototype Integration
