....economy to date. They implemented an auction mechanism that distributed database tables and queries among autonomous replicas. They found that their economic system balanced query load across replicas better than a static query optimizer. Clearwater s book [7] and a paper from Tucker and Berman [24] are useful sources for other, less related work. The latter includes a discussion of reasons for which the economic paradigm has not yet been widely adopted. Recent work applying Game Theory to computer systems seems to focus on networking problems, such as sharing the cost of multicast [10, 15] ....

.... control systemic problems by reducing the freedom of the decision makers [Bos 94] As a matter of fact, there has been research on how economic principles can be used to provide innovative solutions for computer science problems [Clearwater 96] Cheng 98] Harty 96] Mullen 96] Stonebraker 96] Tucker 96] Waldspurger 92] Of particular interest to us are those papers that, assuming the agents to implement a particular strategy, address emergent characteristics of the system as a whole, such as convergence and stability [Walsh 98] Walsh 99] Computational markets seem to be a natural scenario to ....

....as a software engineering technique. A number of programmed market designs already have been published in the computer science literature that illustrate these possibilities. There is only space here to summarize the interesting aspects of a few examples. A more extensive survey is presented in [19]. The walras system of Wellman [21] is a general equilibrium model implementation that allows a problem to be programmed as a collection of agents within a market whose equilibrium allocations represent solutions. Agent utilities are local and individual, but the price discovery mechanism is ....
....programmed markets present interesting possibilities when market principles are adapted to allocation and control in engineered systems. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This paper would never have been written without the encouragement, guidance, and critical contributions of Fran Berman to an earlier survey [19]. Fabrizio Germano gave invaluable assistance towards understanding general equilibrium and in guidance to the economic literature. The structure and content of this version benefited greatly from comments provided by the anonymous reviewers of the earlier effort. I also benefited from informal ....

....of organizing multiple AppLeS. A promising line of attack is to use market economy mechanisms. The idea is to give each AppLeS currency which can be used to obtain system resources for their application. There are a number of auction and bidding structures which can be applied in this setting [TB96] and we are currently designing experiments with prototype AppLeS to gain experience with real systems and determine the best approach. Other strategies may also be used to address the Bushel of AppLeS Problem. If the underlying systems can provide resource reservation or quality of service ....
