Abstract

The information grid is made up of autonomous systems linked together by a network technology substrate. Based on the Agent-Based Information Resource Management Model (ABIRMM), we advance a novel Market-Based information resource management approach, MBIRMA for short. It develops a market model to predict performance. Agents, which are created to receive consumers’ requests and preferences, make the information services plan correspondingly and bid for required information resources through hybrid auction. And utility function depicts consumers’ preference under the direction of the global information management. The working mechanisms and the information resource management approach of the model are thoroughly illustrated. At final, the applications of ABIRMM are briefly discussed and an example is given.
