The main content of this report is the identification and definition of market mechanisms for Application Layer Networks (ALNs). On basis of the structured Market Engineering process, the work comprises the identification of requirements which adequate market mechanisms for ALNs have to fulfill....

In this work the self-organising potential of the CATNETS allocation mechanism is described to provide a more comprehensive view on the research done in this project. The formal description of either the centralised and decentralised approach is presented. Furthermore the agents' bidding model...

This paper identifies and defines suitable market mechanisms for Application Layer Networks (ALNs). On basis of the structured Market Engineering process, the work comprises the identification of requirements which adequate market mechanisms for ALNs have to fulfill. Subsequently, two mechanisms...

This Report is about the preliminary specifications and design documentation for software components to achieve Catallaxy in computational systems.

This report describes the work done and results obtained in third year of the CATNETS project. Experiments carried out with the different configurations of the prototype are reported and simulation results are evaluated with the CATNETS metrics framework. The applicability of the Catallactic...

In this paper the issue of bidding strategy learning in electronicmarkets is addressed. The primary aim is to identify machine learningtechniques which are best suited to learn bidding behaviourin electronic markets. The developed methodologies are appliedwithin a structured market engineering...

Die Arbeitswelt befindet sich erneut im Umbruch. In der öffentlichen Debatte werden Befürchtungen geäußert, dass der technologische Wandel und insbesondere die Digitalisierung zu Arbeitsplatzverlusten führen. Ist diese Sorge berechtigt, oder bringt die »Arbeitswelt 4.0« sogar neue Jobs...

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...
