Application deployment using catallactic Grid middleware

Abstract

In this paper we describe an application deployment using a Catallactic Grid-enabled middleware, which is based on the Catallaxy "free market" self-organisation approach described by von Hayek [7], who understood the market as a decentralised coordination mechanism opposite to a centralised command economy. The implementation makes use of Globus Toolkit, JXTA and WSRF. The paper envisages the resource virtualization in the WSRF context as the main driver for a proper connection middleware-base platform (on the broad scenario of grid applications).
