Two enhancements to a flexible pricing control system for allocating computer resources

R. W. Zmud *

Two enhancements to an earlier presented flexible pricing for allocating computer resources are presented. The first incorporates a service quality dimension within the control system and results in a pricing system that directly influences computer centre personnel as well as computer users. The second adds a mechanism to improve the efficiency of a multiprogrammed computer system by potentially improving the mix of jobs entering the main processor at a point in time. These enhancements are not intended to correct deficiencies in the original formulation. Rather, they make use of the structure to account for more of the interactions arising between computer users and the computer centre.

Received October 1974.
