Bereits seit Anfang der 1990er Jahre wird jungen Wissenschaftlern im Vorfeld der Tagung "Wirtschaftsinformatik" ein Doctoral Consortium als unterstützendes Forum angeboten. Diese Einrichtung wurde auch zur größten internationalen Konferenz der Wirtschaftsinformatik, der WI 2013 in Leipzig,...

The increasing interconnection between computers through the Internet has emergedthe vision of Application Layer Networks. Application Layer Networks comprise anabstract view on overlay networks (e.g. Peer-to-Peer networks, Grid infrastructures) ontop of the TCP/IP protocol. Their common...

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...

This deliverable describes the work done in task 3.1 “Implementation of additionalservices for economic enhanced platforms in Grid/P2P platform: Preparation ofconcepts and mechanisms for implementation” from the WP 3, “Proof-of-ConceptApplications”. The document is divided in five parts:...

Considerable efforts have been made developing software architectures which allowclients to obtain service “on demand”. The service-oriented architecture (SOA) based onweb service technologies provides a fundamental concept for this purpose, and is oftenadopted in current Grid implementation...

What makes economics so attractive for computing environments is that its central researchquestion lies in the efficient allocation of resources, provided by suppliers and indemand by customers. In computing environments like Grid Computing, the resourcesin question are processor time or storage...

This document provides the initial report of the Simulation work package (Work Package 4,WP4) of the CATNETS project. It contains an analisys of the requirements for a simulation tool to be used in CATNETS and an evaluation of a number of grid and general purpose simulators with respect to the...

In this paper a metrics framework for evaluating different scenarios in the CATNETS project is defined. The aim is to use this framework to compare the catallactic scenario against the central auctioneer.

This deliverable describes the work done in task 3.1, Middleware analysis: Analysis of current middleware used in peer-to-peer and grid implementations for enhancement by catallactic mechanisms from work package 3, Middleware Implementation. The document is divided in four parts: The...

Die zunehmende Vernetzung von Rechnern über das Internet lies die Vision von Application Layer Netzwerken aufkommen. Sie umfassen Overlay Netzwerke wie beispielsweise Peer-to-Peer Netzwerke und Grid Infrastrukturen unter Verwendung des TCP/IP Protokolls. Ihre gemeinsame Eigenschaft ist die...
