Application-layer networks (ALN) are softwarearchitectures that allow the provisioning of servicesrequiring a huge amount of resources by connecting largenumbers of individual computers. The ALN simulationproject CATNET evaluates a decentralized mechanism forresource allocation in ALN, which is based on theeconomic paradigm of the Catallaxy, against acentralized mechanism using an arbitrator object. In bothversions, software agents buy and sell network servicesand resources to and from each other. The economicmodel is based on self-interested maximization of utilityand self-interested cooperation between agents. Thisarticle describes the design of money and message flowsfor centralized and decentralized coordination in bothversions and shows preliminary results.
