Decentralized systems seeking to balance electricity supply and demand regionally are increasingly being discussed. Regional flexibility concepts, however, require spatially and temporally highly resolved knowledge. To provide this, we investigate the 2030 demand, supply, and demand-side...

This article systematically compares 26 different scenarios of climate-friendly energy systems, aiming at a reduction of CO emissions of at least 90% for Germany in 2050. Technical strategies in terms of technology or energy carrier mixes in the end-use sectors industry, buildings, and transport...

Veronika Grimm, Technische Universität Nürnberg, und Axel Ockenfels, Max-Planck-Institut zur Erforschung von Gemeinschaftsgütern, Bonn, kritisieren das aktuelle Strommarktdesign in Deutschland, das durch staatliche Eingriffe und fehlende Anpassungen an ein dezentrales Stromsystem ineffizient...

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 the first 6 months of task 2.1, " Software components:Specification and design of software components, based on theoretical and experimentalexperience from related and the assessment projects, so that Catallaxy can be implementedin any computational...

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...
