the gridbus toolkit for service oriented grid and utility computing an overview and status report
arXiv: Distributed Parallel and Cluster Computing, 2004Co-Authors: Rajkumar Buyya, Srikumar VenugopalAbstract:Grids aim at exploiting synergies that result from cooperation of autonomous distributed entities. The synergies that result from grid cooperation include the sharing, exchange, selection, and aggregation of geographically distributed resources such as computers, data bases, software, and scientific instruments for solving large-scale problems in science, engineering, and commerce. For this cooperation to be sustainable, participants need to have Economic Incentive. Therefore, "Incentive" mechanisms should be considered as one of key design parameters of Grid architectures. In this article, we present an overview and status of an open source Grid toolkit, called Gridbus, whose architecture is fundamentally driven by the requirements of Grid economy. Gridbus technologies provide services for both computational and data grids that power the emerging eScience and eBusiness applications.

grid market directory a web services based grid service publication directory
arXiv: Distributed Parallel and Cluster Computing, 2003Co-Authors: Srikumar Venugopal, Rajkumar BuyyaAbstract:As Grids are emerging as the next generation service-oriented computing platforms, they need to support Grid economy that helps in the management of supply and demand for resources and offers an Economic Incentive for Grid resource providers. To enable this Grid economy, a market-like Grid environment including an infrastructure that supports the publication of services and their discovery is needed. As part of the Gridbus project, we proposed and have developed a Grid Market Directory (GMD) that serves as a registry for high-level service publication and discovery in Virtual Organisations.

corruption in developing countries
Social Science Research Network, 2011Co-Authors: Benjamin A Olken, Rohini PandeAbstract:Recent years have seen a remarkable expansion in economists' ability to measure corruption. This in turn has led to a new generation of well-identified, microEconomic studies. We review the evidence on corruption in developing countries in light of these recent advances, focusing on three questions: how much corruption is there, what are the efficiency consequences of corruption, and what determines the level of corruption? We find robust evidence that corruption responds to standard Economic Incentive theory but also that the effects of anticorruption policies often attenuate as officials find alternate strategies to pursue rents.

analysis of Economic Incentive policies for improving a low carbon society case study of the building industry in china and japan
Urban Policy and Research, 2015Co-Authors: Beijia Huang, Norichika Kanie, Masachika Suzuki, Ping JiangAbstract:In the process of promoting the development of a low carbon society, Economic Incentive policies play an important role. In order to see the effectiveness of implementing the Economic Incentive policies, we put forward two questions in this study: How effective are Economic Incentive policies in the building industry in China and Japan? What are the obstacles preventing these policies from being effectively applied and how to overcome them? Considering the energy consumption in the building industry accounts for a significant proportion in both China and Japan, Economic Incentive policies for promoting building energy saving in the two countries have been chosen as case studies. Policies discussed in this article are divided into national and city levels, in which the city level policy analysis mainly focused on the active Carbon Trading Programs. Methods of stakeholder investigation and literature review are applied in exploring the Economic Incentive polices' effects and constraints. Based on the outcom...

Economic Incentive for intermittent operation of air separation plants with variable power costs
Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 2008Co-Authors: Jason Miller, William L Luyben, Stephane BlouinAbstract:This article presents a simplified Economic analysis of the effect of hourly variations in power costs on energy and capital costs of cryogenic air separation plants. The objective is to see what ratio of peak-to-minimum energy costs is required to make intermittently operated air separation plants Economically attractive. The study focuses on super-staged argon-column air separation plants producing both gaseous and liquid oxygen and nitrogen, along with high-purity liquid argon. Preliminary results indicate that power price ratios between about 2 and 7 are required, depending on the process and Economic assumptions. The analysis uses thermodynamic ideal-work calculations to predict energy requirements for plants that produce varying amounts of liquid and gaseous products. These products must be provided to customers even when the plant is not running, so excess liquid oxygen and nitrogen must be produced and stored during the period when the plant is running. The actual power consumption of the base 24-...
