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....

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...

In this paper the requirements for an ALN simulation environment are analysed, as needed in the CATNETS Project. A number of grid and general purpose simulators are evaluated regarding the identified requirements for simulating economical resource allocation mechanisms in ALNs. Subsequently a...

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...

[...] 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 this paper we present results from an agent-based simulation model of two sequentially cleared electricity markets. Agents can bid on both a day-ahead market for physical delivery contracts and a day-ahead balancing power market and learn from their achieved results. Different scenarios of...

In this paper, we present a basic approach for modelling electricity and emissions markets under the paradigm of agent-based computational economics (ACE). Different market players will be modelled as independent entities using autonomous software agents; they operate and communicate...
