Market-based control of computational systems: introduction to the special issue

We introduce the Special Issue of the journal on the topic of Market-Based Control of Computational Systems. The special issue collects six peer-reviewed papers arising from an International Workshop on the topic held in Liverpool, UK, in September 2008.
