In this paper a metrics framework for evaluating different scenarios in the CATNETS project is defined. The aim is to use this framework to compare the catallactic scenario against the central auctioneer. -- Grid Computing

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...

Bereits seit Anfang der 1990er Jahre wird jungen Wissenschaftlern im Vorfeld der Tagung "Wirtschaftsinformatik" ein Doctoral Consortium als unterst?tzendes Forum angeboten. Diese Einrichtung wurde auch zur gr??ten internationalen Konferenz der Wirtschaftsinformatik, der WI 2007 in Karlsruhe...

One of the main issues in the development of future Grid and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networksystems is the effcient provisioning of services and resources to network clients. Thisshould be done by a scalable, dynamic, and adaptable allocation mechanism. The overallobjective of the CATNETS project is...

This document provides the initial report of the Simulation work package (Work Package 4,WP4) of the CATNETS project. It contains an analisys of the requirements for a simulation tool to be used in CATNETS and an evaluation of a number of grid and general purpose simulators with respect to the...

The Grid provides access to distributed computational capabilities such as processors or storage space. One of the key problems is deciding which jobs are to be allocated to which resources at what time. In this context, the use of market mechanisms is a promising approach to solve these...
