Abstract
The global grid model is steadily being uptaken by individuals and
services wishing to trade in grid services. The grid was originally
driven by organisations attempting to share high performance computing
resources but there are recent moves to apply the model to exchange of
other services. It is important that an appropriate economic model be
applied to the exchange of services if the global grid approach is to
be applied beyond academia and free/share communities. We have built
a simulation model of our prototype to investigate the buyer/seller
and open market models of services. We are also experimenting with
tightly-coupled value-add chains of services in a market economy that
would scale to the size of the global grid.
Keywords: economics and management; grid systems; simulation model.
