Abstract

We present a proposal for a next-generation Internet based on chargeable Web Services and Utility Computing realized by a series of open but interacting markets. We demonstrate through the U.K. e-Science project ‘A Market for Computational Services’ the development of some of the fundamental building blocks for such a Grid computational marketplace. This paper describes the motivation behind this restructuring of the Internet and Web-based activities as a series of markets and how Grid Computing technologies can contribute towards this goal. The paper details the work undertaken at the London e-Science Centre to build a framework to create and support negotiable and chargeable Web Services. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
