Abstract
This extended abstract considers the gap between the theoretical ideals and practical realities of distributed and money-free resource exchange protocols among self-interested agents. We sketch a convex program that corresponds to the centralised exchange market equilibrium. Secondly we state the convergence of proportional exchange allocation, comprising a distributed solution to the equilibrium. Thirdly, summarising a simulation study, we observe that distributed, mixed-strategy protocols can achieve stable and desirable outcomes, modulated by sensitivity to population diversity, limited information, and strategic agent behaviour.
