Defining Computational Resources Prices Based on the Expectations Equilibrium of Consumers and Providers from a Desktop Grid

Abstract

This paper proposes a dynamic approach for price adjustment of computational resources ruled by a Desktop Grid. The adopted strategies are based on the supply and demand law commonly applied in economical markets. Thus, allows one to dynamically set the prices according to the previous requested consumer's services and supplier's submitted resources. The testing analysis results show how the equilibrium expectation from the consumer and service providers are preponderant in the processes of obtaining fairer values in their negotiations. The reached individual satisfactions established by the well succeed sharing are appraised, in order to endure it or not in the grid market based on its influences.
