Valuation-aware traffic-control mechanisms for road intersections take the valuations of reduced waiting time of the individual drivers into account. They use agents to avoid any disturbance of the driver, and they feature mechanisms specifically designed for negotiating valuations. While such mechanisms do indeed increase overall driver satisfaction, they only allow one vehicle at a time to use the...
Grid technology denotes a computing paradigm in which computing resources are shared across geographical and administrative boundaries. Market-based mechanisms are deemed promising to provide a better fit to grids' strategic and dynamic nature than classic technical schedulers. In this paper, we present a deterministic heuristic that achieves the distinct trade-off between scalability by approximation...
While grid market schedulers have recently received a lot of attention and have been accepted not only in economic but also in purely computer science areas as well, technical grid schedulers are being modified to support advance reservation of resources, too. This prompts questions on how to model grid markets and how to handle grid resource reservation in a reasonable economic fashion. This paper...
