Workshop on grid economics and business models, Delft, Netherlands
24 August 2009 - 24 August 2009
Netherlands
The Sixth International Workshop on Grid Economics and Business Models ('GECON') will take place on 24 August in Delft, Netherlands.
The commercial exploitation of grid computing is slowly starting to become popular under the term 'cloud computing'. Existing solutions are very diverse, ranging from Resource-as-a-Service (RaaS) models to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) models. However, the existing cloud offerings can only be purchased directly from a provider; they cannot be traded in a common market. Such a market could act as a focal point for buyers and sellers to meet. In fact, any market participant could act as a resource provider or resource seller, depending on the current demand level.
The aims of this workshop are to discuss issues associated with the development of a common market for resources, suggest future directions of research and extensions to existing technologies, and look at the successful deployment of a commercial, service-oriented market for (computing, software, data) resources.
GECON is sponsored by GRIDECON ('Grid Economics and Business Models'), a project funded by the Sixth Framework Programme (FP6). GRIDECON explores the perceived economic barriers to the adoption of grid computing by industry and small to medium enterprises across Europe.For further information, please click:
