[...] Die Arbeit identifiziert technische und ökonomische Risiken in Grid-Computing-Systemen und untersucht sie hinsichtlich ihrer Versicherbarkeit. Anforderungen an die Versicherung für Grid-Systeme werden abgeleitet und ein Prämienberechnungsmodell aus der Kraftfahrzeugversicherung...

In Unternehmen hat sich der Einsatz von rechenintensiver Informationstechnologie (IT) bereits für den Geschäftsbetrieb als unverzichtbar erwiesen, um Geschäftsprozesse besser auszurichten und neue Geschäftslösungen mit größerer Flexibilität und Geschwindigkeit bereitzustellen. Dieser...

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.

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.

Grid Computing is a paradigmatic application forthe requirements associated with the exponentially growingcomplexity in the engineering, operation and maintenance oftoday’s information systems. Grid Computing comprises evergrowingglobal communication infrastructures and millions ofpossible...

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. -- Grid Computing

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...
