We study a peer-to-peer backup system, where users offer some of their storage space to provide service for the others. The economic model for such a system is different from the o...
Grid computing platforms require automated and distributed resource allocation with controllable quality-of-service (QoS). Market-based allocation these features using the compleme...
We describe a number of strategies for a future service oriented market place. We describe the SLA’s role within the service framework, and how it enables customers to make value...
