Accounting in the Environment of Grid Society

Grid and P2P are both emerging technologies that aim at efficient resource sharing in recent years [1, 2]. Reference [3] named the coexist environment of Grid and P2P “Grid Society”. In the environment of Grid Society there exists a large pool of users as well as resource providers, just as in Human Society, whether all of them can be efficiently managed will greatly affect the performance of the whole system [4]. On the basis that Human Society and Grid Society are Similarity Systems, we use the methods of migration to explore the problem of accounting management and proposed a Society based Accounting Management model for Grid Society.
