Incentive-Compatibility, Individual-Rationality and Fairness for Quality of Service Claims

.
HP Labs, (February 2006)

Abstract

This document discusses extensions to the pricing structures presented in 2 for the provision of IT services that ensure trust without requiring repeated interactions between service providers and users. We extend 2 by providing theorems demonstrating the existence of incentive-compatible mechanisms for a broad class of expected costs to the user, and also introduce a notion of fairness with which to constrain the space of acceptable mechanisms.
