Abstract:
We investigate pricing of resources in dynamic grids that are modelled
as computational commodity markets. Price determination based on
achieving supply-and-demand equilibrium has been shown to work for
static grids. However some grids are dynamic in the sense that the
number of systems or users participating in the grid fluctuates signifi-
cantly over time. We show that the pricing scheme does not suffer from
the disruptive effects of the dynamic grid fabric or user population.
