Market-driven service allocation in a QoS-capable environment

Abstract

1. ABSTIL4CT In this paper we describe a prototype that supports end-to-end QoS for applications invoking services over an ATM switch. The required resource bundles are allocated to applications via auctions taking place in two independent markets. We report results of initial experiments with alternative configurations that have been performed to investigate the effects of market independence in the behavior of the system. 1.1
