Minimal Economic Distributed Computing

摘要
In an ideal distributed computing infrastructure, users would be able to use
diverse distributed computing resources in a simple coherent way, with
guaranteed security and efficient use of shared resources in accordance with
the wishes of the owners of the resources. Our strategy for approaching this
ideal is to first find the simplest structure within which these goals can
plausibly be achieved. This structure, we find, is given by a particular
recursive distributive lattice freely constructed from a presumed partially
ordered set of all data in the infrastructure. Minor syntactic adjustments to
the resulting algebra yields a simple language resembling a UNIX shell, a
concept of execution and an interprocess protocol. Persons, organizations and
servers within the system express their interests explicitly via a hierarchical
currency. The currency provides a common framework for treating authentication,
access control and resource sharing as economic problems while also introducing
a new dimension for improving the infrastructure over time by designing system
components which compete with each other to earn the currency. We explain these
results, discuss experience with an implementation called egg and point out
areas where more research is needed.
