About the project

The summer project I will be involved in concens economic models for efficient resource-sharing in distributed networks of mobile devices. I will begin by developing a simulator. The simulator will represent a  network of nodes (or devices) and each device will have certain hardware, software, and spacial characteristics. Each simulated device will also have a trace of events. Events might include communication with other nodes, request of services, etc. After the simulator is build I will be able to devise and test different schemes for allocating resources. What is meant by economic modes is for example the idea of paying for resources, as well as bidding for them.
