Development o the Market of Resources

Abstract

In earlier chapters we have presented the main information and communication technologies and applications that can be used to implement functionalities of the Market of Resources, namely Internet technology, Agent technology, Internet-based marketplaces, etc., and standards for integrability. Electronic Marketplaces aggregate a set of technologies able to respond to some of the requirements of the Market of Resources, which can be complemented with other technologies. This chapter introduces some technology that can support the development of the Market of Resources and discusses its utilisation, as well as presents a prototype developed to demonstrate the operation of some functions of the Market of Resources. This prototype is used later, in Chapter X, in the analytical simulation of the Market of Resources performance.
