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...

In this report the progress of developing the proof-of-concept application in the CATNETS project is presented. Hence the development of the necessary performance measuring components as well as a distributed application to execute on economic-enhanced Grid/P2P platforms and middleware...

Visions of 21st century information systems show highly specialized digital services and resources, which interact continuously and with a global reach. Especially with the emergence of technologies, such as the semantic web or software agents, intelligent services within these settings can be...

Visions of the next-generation Internet of Services are driven by digital resources traded on a global scope. For the resulting economic setting, automated on-line techniques for handling services and resources themselves, for advertising and discovering as well as for the on-the-fly negotiation...

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...

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...
