| Definition of Grid Economics |
Grid Economics comprises the analysis of Internet systems from a economic perspective as well as the application of economic principles to the area of Utility computing, Grid Computing, Clouds, software services, and data services, with the goal of improving market behavior, economically efficient resource allocations, and crating successful business models for the Internet.The topics that are addressed are:
- Cloud business model analysis
- Service Level Agreements (SLA)
- Pricing
- Capacity Planning
- Market analysis
- Economic modeling
