We analyze rational strategies of users in a dynamic grid market. We consider efficient
usage of the shared resources in modeling users' preference relations, an objective that …

Autonomous agents are widely applied to automate interactions in robotics, eg for selling
and purchasing goods on eBay, and in financial markets, eg in the form of quote machines …

In contemporary energy markets participants interact with each other via brokers that are
responsible for the proper energy flow to and from their clients (usually in the form of long …

The computational landscape is littered with islands of disjoint resource providers including
commercial Clouds, private Clouds, national Grids, institutional Grids, clusters, and data …

In this paper, we view the cloud as market place for trading instances of web services, which
can be bought or leased by web applications. Applications can buy diversity by selecting …

Grids are dynamic, with the resource availability fluctuating over time, and at different rates
at each instant. To obtain the resources for tasks execution, each client may negotiate with a …

The commercial availability of computational resources enable consumers to scale their
applications on-demand. However, it is necessary for both consumers and providers of …

Fostering efficiency of computational resource allocation - Integrating information services into
markets Page 1 Association for Information Systems AIS Electronic Library (AISeL) ECIS 2008 …

We view the cloud as a marketplace for trading instances of web services, which can be
“leased” by web applications. We argue that applications can “buy” diversity by selecting …

Agents and market mechanisms are widely elaborated and applied to automate interaction
and decision processes among others in robotics, for decentralized control in sensor …
