Abstract
One of the definitions of economy as ”the administration of the concerns and resources of any community or establishment with a view to orderly conduct and productiveness”[2] appears almost identical to the definition of the problem of resource allocation in grid computing. From an economic perspective, the grid itself coincided with the creation of an economy in the very moment that it enabled the exchange or sharing of resources between different owners. This consideration led us to envisage a very high-level resource brokerage architecture based on grid agents capable of implementing different social and economic interactions in grids.
