This article examines the broker's behavior with regard to a varying number of participating nodes and shows that incremental losses have to be accepted in central resource allocation when introducing new nodes.

The objective of WP2 - Simulation of the CATNETS project was to identify the requiredfeatures of the CATNETS simulator, to develop it, and to incorporate the centralised andcatallactic service/resource market specifications from WP1: Theoretical and ComputationalBasis. The simulator is to be...

The deliverable reports the performance assessment of the Catallactic approach. Itdepends on the work done and results achieved in the other workpackages, particularlyWP2, the simulator and scenario generator development, and WP3, the prototypedevelopment....

Future Grid network technology will face the problem of the efficient provisioning ofservices to clients by a scalable and dynamic resource allocation (matching) mechanism.The objective of CATNETS is to determine the applicability of a decentralizedeconomic self-organization mechanism for...

In this document the developments in defining the computational and theoretical framework for economical resource allocation are described. Accordingly the formal specification of the market mechanisms, bidding strategies of the involved agents and the integration of the market mechanisms into...

Mit zunehmender Verbreitung von Grid-Infrastrukturen in Unternehmen gewinnt die Frage nach Vertrauen immer mehr an Bedeutung. In einer offenen, heterogenen, sich ständig verändernden Umgebung, wie z.B. der Grid-Ökonomie ist hundertprozentige Sicherheit nicht zu gewährleisten; aus diesem...

This paper presents the final activity report of the CATNETS project. It summarizes the project objectives, the contractors involved, the work performed and the final results. A description of the dissemination activities concludes the report.

This document describes the progress of the simulator development with in the third year of the CATNETS project. The refinement of the simulator as well as a detailed guide to conducting simulations is presented.

The main content of this report is the identification and definition of market mechanisms for Application Layer Networks (ALNs). On basis of the structured Market Engineering process, the work comprises the identification of requirements which adequate market mechanisms for ALNs have to fulfill....

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 2007 in Karlsruhe...
