Distributed Computation as an Economic System
类比计算机网络与人类市场经济，提出经济学可用于设计和理解分布式计算机系统的行为，对计算机和经济学交叉领域的研究者有用。
As computer networks grow and blanket the planet, they become a community of concurrent processes, which, in their interactions, strategies, and lack of perfect knowledge, become analogous to human market economies. Economics may thus offer new ways of designing and understanding the behavior of distributed computer systems.
