Abstract
Grid computing is the key technology of next generation Internet. Today grid research is mostly focus on the communication, security, resource management and information management. Charging and accounting is a base activity in a economy society, so that it should become a part of grid computing system in computational economy environment. In this paper, we introduce charging and accounting item in a grid computing system, and propose a method for calculating the cost of a grid usage. This method gives out how to calculate the standardization technology cost of the usage of a job and how to translate the standardization technology cost into currency cost. Further more, we analyse the demands of a charging and accounting system in a computional economy based grid. A architecture of charging and accounting system and its support system is designed in this paper.
