eCenter Project - Economic Issues in Communications Networks

This study explores how the use of economic incentives, such as prices and discounts, make it in the interest of individuals to cooperate with network management objectives. These models represent a form of real-time pricing that can be implemented with no advance knowledge of demand or individual customer preferences making them powerful management tools for objectives such as load-balancing or regulating peak period traffic.
