A market based approach for efficient resource management in an intranet

In this paper a pricing technique for resource management in an intranet environment is given. The price of the services are dynamically determined by the servers of the network, taking into account the general policy of the manager of the network. Both decentralized and centralized control is used to increase the efficiency of the network. An architecture imposing small implementation cost is presented. Implementation issues are discussed and experimental results are given.
