On the Application of Peak-Load Pricing to Computer Services.

Abstract

Computer networks are increasing in usage and availability. Concurrently, individual centers are dealing with increased levels of usage and service demands during prime hours. A model for addressing the peak load pricing problem for individual centers as well as networks is presented. The model is based on each center independently maximizing a specified objective function. Different price schedules are used for local and remote users over distinct time periods. Implementation of the model is discussed. (Author)
