No, except in the sense that you can look at all of the existing publications on market-based scheduling and the like, and after a while you will conclude that none of them really solve the problem. The underlying issue is that the resources are not infinitely subdivisible, so the market structure does not exhibit continuously differential pricing, and at a certain low point items fall out of sponsorship in ways that the individual players are unable to predict. When I wrote "it's an open problem", I mean it hasn't been solved yet, which of course limits the availability of written solutions. :-) shap _______________________________________________ L4-hurd mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/l4-hurd
