Market-based resource management is becoming an emerging issue as the utilization of Grid computing is growing rapidly, particularly in the business field. In this paper, we provide a new Imprecise Computation Grid application model for flexible market-based resource management. Each job in a Grid application has two parts: mandatory part for the minimum quality and optional part for additional computations. This application model can be applied to QoS-related Grid applications and used in
