Abstract

Application-layer networks (ALN) are softwarearchitectures that allow the provisioning of servicesrequiring a huge amount of resources by connecting largenumbers of individual computers, e.g. Grids and P2P-Networks.Self-organization, like proposed by theAutonomic Computing concept, might be the key tocontrolling these systems. The CATNET project evaluates adecentralized mechanism for resource allocation in ALN,based on the economic paradigm of the Catallaxy. Theeconomic model is based on self-interested maximizationof utility and self-interested cooperation between softwareagents, who buy and sell network services and resourcesto and from each other.
