Multiple Criteria Decision Making in Application Layer Networks

Focusing on Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM), this thesis explores how intelligent software agents can trade digital commodities within Application Layer Networks (ALN), including grids and clouds. It presents a detailed analysis of decision-making processes and the application of MCDM techniques in a digital context, emphasizing the intersection of computer science and commercial information technology. The work highlights innovative approaches to enhance trading efficiency and decision-making in complex network environments.
