The Grid is a promising technology for providing access to
distributed high-end computational capabilities. Thus, com- putational
tasks can be performed spontaneously by other resources in the Grid that
are not under the user’s control. How- ever, one of the key problems in the
Grid is deciding which jobs are to be allocated to which resources at what
time. In this context, the use of market mechanisms for scheduling and
allocating Grid resources is a promising approach toward solv- ing these
problems. This paper proposes an auction mechanism for allocating and
scheduling computer resources such as processors or storage space which
have multiple quality attributes. The mechanism is evaluated according to
its economic and computational performance as well as its practical
applicability by means of a simulation.
