Abstract:
|
Application layer networks are software architectures that
allow the provisioning of services requiring a huge amount of resources
by connecting large numbers of individual computers, like in Grid or
Peer-to-Peer computing. Controlling the resource allocation in those networks
is nearly impossible using a centralized arbitrator. The network
simulation project CATNET will evaluate a decentralized mechanism
for resource allocation, which is based on the economic paradigm of the
Catallaxy, against a centralized mechanism using an arbitrator object. In
both versions, software agents buy and sell network services and resources
to and from each other. The economic model is based on self-interested
maximization of utility and self-interested cooperation between agents.
This article describes the setup of money and message flows both for
centralized and decentralized coordination in comparison. |
