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...
