Abstract

A system and method may provide for defining a usage policy for an available resource of a personal computing system, and transmitting the usage policy to a market broker. The market broker may identify a match between the usage policy and a request from another computing system, and generate a notification of the match. In addition, funds may be transferred from an account associated with the other computing system to an account associated with the personal computing system based on a remote usage of the available resource by the other computing system.
