Robust solutions for combinatorial auctions
Alan Holland,Barry O'Sullivan +1 more
TL;DR: An auction model that uses a form of leveled commitment contract to improve solution reparability by facilitating backtracking on winning bids by the bid-taker is introduced and the trade-off between robustness and revenue in different economically motivated auction scenarios is examined.

Bin Packing with Linear Usage Costs --- An Application to Energy Management in Data Centres
TL;DR: This work presents a column generation model for computing the lower bound on the original energy management problem where the pricing problem is essentially a cost-aware bin packing with side constraints and shows that the industrial benchmark provided can be solved to near optimality using a large neighborhood search.
Constraint Programming meets Machine Learning and Data Mining (Dagstuhl Seminar 11201)
TL;DR: The starting point in this seminar was that machine learning and data mining have developed largely independently from constraint programming till now, but it is increasingly becoming clear that there are many opportunities for interactions between these areas.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The Temporal Bin Packing Problem: An Application to Workload Management in Data Centres
TL;DR: This paper formalises a packing problem that emerges as a core sub-problem for managing workload consolidation in data centres and presents optimisation models using Mixed Integer Programming and Constraint Programming for two contrasting but equivalent perspectives on the problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Impact of Search Heuristics on Heavy-Tailed Behaviour
Tudor Hulubei,Barry O'Sullivan +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that heavy-tailed behaviour can be eliminated from particular classes of random problems by carefully selecting the search heuristics, even when using chronological backtrack search.
