In this paper we discuss an economic model for resource sharing in large-scale distributed systems. The model captures traditional concepts such as consumer satisfaction and provider revenues and enables us to analyze the effect of different pricing strategies upon measures of performance important for the consumers and the providers. We show that given a particular set of model parameters the satisfaction reaches an optimum; this value represents the perfect balance between the utility and the price paid for resources. Our results confirm that brokers play a very important role and can influence positively the market. We also show that consumer satisfaction does not track the consumer utility, these two important performance measures for consumers behave differently under different pricing strategies. Pricing strategies also affect the revenues obtained by providers, as well as, the ability to satisfy a larger population of users.

In this paper we discuss an economic model for resource sharing in
large-scale distributed systems. The model captures traditional
concepts such as consumer satisfaction and provider revenues and
enables us to analyze the effect of different pricing strategies
upon measures of performance important for the consumers and the
providers. We show that given a particular set of model parameters
the satisfaction reaches an optimum; this value represents the
perfect balance between the utility and the price paid for
resources. Our results confirm that brokers play a very important
role and can influence positively the market. We also show that
consumer satisfaction does not track the consumer utility, these
two important performance measures for consumers behave
differently under different pricing strategies. Pricing strategies
also affect the revenues obtained by providers, as well as, the
ability to satisfy a larger population of users.
