{"product_id":"9783764388966","title":"Economic Models and Algorithms for Distributed Systems","description":"\u003cp\u003eDistributed computing paradigms for sharing resources such as Clouds, Grids, Peer-to-Peer systems, or voluntary computing are becoming increasingly popular. While there are some success stories such as PlanetLab, OneLab, BOINC, BitTorrent, and SETI@home, a widespread use of these technologies for business applications has not yet been achieved. In a business environment, mechanisms are needed to provide incentives to potential users for participating in such networks. These mechanisms may range from simple non-monetary access rights, monetary payments to specific policies for sharing. Although a few models for a framework have been discussed (in the general area of a \"Grid Economy\"), none of these models has yet been realised in practice. This book attempts to fill this gap by discussing the reasons for such limited take-up and exploring incentive mechanisms for resource sharing in distributed systems. The purpose of this book is to identify research challenges in successfully using and deploying resource sharing strategies in open-source and commercial distributed systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Birkhäuser Basel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47037695230192,"sku":"9783764388966","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783764388966_p0.jpg?v=1763682876","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783764388966","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
