	  abstract     = {Grid environments consist of the volatile integration
of discrete heterogeneous resources. The notion of the Grid is to
unite different users and organisations and pool their resources into
one large computing platform where they can harness, inter-operate,
collaborate and interact. If the Grid Community is to achieve this
objective, then participants (Users and Organisations) need to be
willing to donate or share their resources and permit other
participants to use their resources. Resources do not have to be
shared at all times, since it may result in users not having access to
their own resource. The idea of reward-based computing was
developed to address the sharing problem in a pragmatic manner.
Participants are offered a reward to donate their resources to the
Grid. A reward may include monetary recompense or a pro rata share
of available resources when constrained. This latter point may imply
a quality of service, which in turn may require some globally agreed
reservation mechanism. This paper presents a platform for economybased
computing using the WebCom Grid middleware. Using this
middleware, participants can configure their resources at times and
priority levels to suit their local usage policy. The WebCom system
accounts for processing done on individual participants- resources
and rewards them accordingly.},
