.... [21, 19] both from the perspective of resource allocation [3, 20] and task allocation [30] and applied to task domains such as allocating operating system resources [15] providing library services [17] scheduling jobs on networks of workstations [8] and maintaining optimal o#ce climate [33]. The most substantial di#erence between auctions and our game dynamics approach is that auction require a central authority, an auctioneer, to determine winners. In our scheme, the payo# an agent receives is local, based on the load on the chosen resource only. Another difference is where the ....

....agents only indirectly through market institutions, such as auctions. The market based approach has become increasingly popular in recent years, as evidenced by the number of applications described in the literature. Markets have been proposed to solve a diversity of problems, with climate control [Ygge 96 and Akkermans, 1999] , power load management [Ygge and Akkermans, 1996] allocating computational servers [Waldspurger et al. 1992] multicommodity flow [Wellman, 1993] and belief aggregation [Pennock and Wellman, 1997] being just a sample. Shoham and Tennenholtz [2001] directly pose the question What can a ....

....and nonconvexities, which violate the ideal conditions for the welfare theorems or for particular market protocols. 4 WELLMAN, WALSH, WURMAN, AND MACKIE MASON Prior work applying market inspired mechanisms to scheduling [1, 13, 20, 37, 38] and other distributed resource allocation problems [6, 17, 35, 47] has produced promising empirical results. Understanding the scope of these methods, and developing a general design methodology for computational markets, however, requires an analytical characterization of their properties. In our own MOP work, we have adopted the framework of general ....

....energy management. Here, the service is having maximum comfort at lowest possible cost. Building users are connected to an agent based electronic power market that allocates energy resources over time in an optimal way; essentially, in their service provisioning agents carry out control tasks [26]. To make such a market work, agents deal with a lot of background and context knowledge, including building physics and climate models, weather data and forecasting (to compute the need for energy resources dynamically) 4, 15, 16] Users are e#ectively involved in forms of demand side bidding, ....

....respectively. 6. At the IT level, this then provides the basis for agent based e business system implementations and solutions. Corresponding, extensive and real life applications where economic agents make local decisions based on utility considerations, are described in some of our other work [24, 13, 25, 2]. Thus, an important virtue of the ontology approach is that it provides a foundation to express and discuss e business models for specific business cases in a rigorous and structured fashion. In addition, this enhances business IT alignment and smoothens the transition to e commerce systems ....
