Classification of Grid Experiments in the Whitebook Context

Grids are one application to the Theories and Experiments conducted in the project

Design Questions:Overall Question: Is it possible to improve Grid-Systems with the help of Reputation? How to measure consequences of reputational information in Grids? Measures of Performance (indicators can be found in the Wiki (http://megatron.iiia.csic.es/mediawiki/index.php/White_Book/Theory_Introduction - Design Questions section)

Grid Experiments Auction Mechanismhttp://megatron.iiia.csic.es/mediawiki/index.php/Decisions_on_Grid_Requirements

Auction mechanism is to be used on Basic Service as well as Resource MarketSeveral auction protocols possible,we start with the English ActionWithin one protocol, only one auction at a time (queuing)

Grid Prototype – current status

Deliverable is due in Month 28 (End of July)

Auctions are already implemented, there is still work to be done regarding the agents’ budget, service execution and agents’ strategies
