We introduce the MAJIC system that we have implemented over Suns' Jini platform.
This system is an implementation of a new general-purpose architecture for applying
economic mechanisms for resource allocation in distributed systems.

A key novel aspect of our system is that it handles multiple parameters in the allocation
and in the specification of utilities and costs for each distributed service.
In our paper we provide both theoretical and experimental results showing the
following three key properties of this system:
        (1) Efficient resource allocation.
        (2) Motivation for resource owners to share them with others.
        (3) Load balancing.
