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...

The deliverable refers to the tasks related to performance evaluation of the CATNETS projectin year 2. In Table 1 the character of this work is illustrated and set into context. In the firstyear of the project a theoretical metrics framework was devised as basis for the evaluation ofthe...

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...

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....
