Abstract

In this paper, we describe our approach to managing quality of service (QoS) using pricing. We show how it is possible to synthesise network QoS in the end-systems along the lines of the end to end design principle, as one of many possible business models. We have: (i) developed an architecture for market management; (ii) invented new business models to test and demonstrate its flexibility; (iii) implemented generic mechanisms that not only enable these models but also many others; (iv) modelled selected features of the resulting systems and markets and (v) conducted experiments on users to assess acceptability and the feasibility of the overall approach. Each of these aspects is outlined in brief overview, with numerous references to more detailed work.
