A QoS-Enabled Double Auction Protocol for the Service Grid

A control service for QoS-enabled middleware

Developers of distributed multimedia applications face a diversity of multimedia formats, streaming platforms and streaming protocols; furthermore, support for end-to-end Quality-of-Service (QoS) is a crucial factor for the development of future distributed multimedia systems. Middleware is gaining wide acceptance as a generic software infrastructure for distributed applications, a growing numb...

Convergent Double Auction Mechanism for a Prosumers' Decentralized Smart Grid

In this paper, we propose a novel automated double auction mechanism called convergent linear function submission-based double-auction (CLFS-DA) for a prosumers’ decentralized smart grid. The target decentralized smart grid is a regional electricity network that consists of many prosumers that have a battery and a renewable energy-based generator, such as photovoltaic cells. In the proposed dou...

A Greedy Double Auction Mechanism for Grid Resource Allocation

To improve the resource utilization and satisfy more users, a Greedy Double Auction Mechanism(GDAM) is proposed to allocate resources in grid environments. GDAM trades resources at discriminatory price instead of uniform price, reflecting the variance in requirements for profits and quantities. Moreover, GDAM applies different auction rules to different cases, over-demand, over-supply and equil...

RT-Grid: A QoS Oriented Service Grid Framework

Effective and efficient Quality of Service (QoS) management is critical for a service grid to meet the requirements of both grid users and service providers. We incorporate QoS management into Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) and provide a high-level middleware to build complex applications with QoS guarantees. We introduce a scalable framework of information service in which capabilities...
