We define a grid middleware comprising federated resources that facilitates a globally optimal mapping of applications to the available resources while satisfying the goals of both users and resource providers. Applications are annotated with performance and behavioural information to enable the 'best' resources to be found automatically. A computational currency is used by resource providers and consumers to express their goals (e.g. completion time, resource utilisation, etc.) enabling a globally optimal mapping of applications to resources. We describe a prototype implementation of this architecture using Java and Jini.
