User Behavior on Computing Services. Derivation of Utility Function

Abstract

During the past few years, major emphasis in the field of Computer Economics has been given to technology-cost analysis -- in which cost was analyzed as a function of network topology, transmission technology, and reliability. Recently, the focus of research in this field seems to have changed from the 'engineering-economics' point-of-view to the rather 'pure economics' point-of-view. This report concerns itself with the purchasing behavior of those buying computing services. Software and hardware are considered commodities.
