20080255953 | Tier-based Dynamic Incentive Arbitration in an On-Demand Computing Environment - A system for allocating resources which are anticipated to be available in an on-demand computing at some time in the future, wherein a producer trending agent (PTA) lists resources according to a trend prediction of resource availability in the past, a consumer trending agent (CTA) places bids for listed resources according to previous resource usage trends, and an arbitration system (REAS) matches the bids with the listings to determine if a match exists. If so, a binding contract for consumption of the matched listed resources is established. The PTA also produce tier-based dynamic incentive (TDI) schema which divides potential bidders into tiers, and offers additional resource incentives according to the tiers. Both PTA and CTA dynamically update their available/usage trends, listings and bids, over time. | 10-16-2008 |
20080263193 | System and Method for Automatically Providing a Web Resource for a Broken Web Link - A system and method for automatically providing a Web site resource for a broken Web link are provided.
