Towards an Economy-Based Optimisation of File Access and Replication on a Data Grid

Abstract
We are working on a system for the optimised accessand replication of data on a Data Grid.Our approach isbased on the use of an economic model that includes theactors and the resources in the Grid.Optimisation is obtainedvia interaction of the actors in the model, whose goals are maximising the profits and minimising the costs of data resource management.In the system, local optimisationresults in global optimisation through emergent marketplacebehaviour.In this paper we give an overview of our model and present part of the complex economic reasoningrequired to support this desired marketplace interactionmodel.
