TLDR
The algorithm allows combinatorial auctions to scale up to significantly larger numbers of items and bids than prior approaches to optimal winner determination by capitalizing on the fact that the space of bids is sparsely populated in practice.

Bundling Equilibrium in Combinatorial auctions

TL;DR: The tradeoff between communication complexity and economic efficiency of bundling equilibrium is analyzed, and the main motivation for studying all these equilibria, and not just the domination equilibrium, is that they afford a reduction of the communication complexity.

Trading grid services – a multi-attribute combinatorial approach

TL;DR: This paper proposes an auction mechanism for allocating and scheduling computer resources such as processors or storage space which have multiple quality attributes which are evaluated according to its economic and computational performance as well as its practical applicability by means of a simulation.

MINIMAXSAT: an efficient weighted max-SAT solver

TL;DR: A wide set of solving alternatives on a broad set of optimization benchmarks indicates that the performance of MINIMAXSAT is usually close to the best specialized alternative and, in some cases, even better.

Truthful randomized mechanisms for combinatorial auctions

TL;DR: Two computationally-efficient incentive-compatible mechanisms for combinatorial auctions with general bidder preferences are designed, both of which are randomized, and are incentive- compatible in the universal sense.

Empirical hardness models: Methodology and a case study on combinatorial auctions

TL;DR: The use of supervised machine learning is proposed to build models that predict an algorithm's runtime given a problem instance and techniques for interpreting them are described to gain understanding of the characteristics that cause instances to be hard or easy.

Reducibility Among Combinatorial Problems

TL;DR: The work of Dantzig, Fulkerson, Hoffman, Edmonds, Lawler and other pioneers on network flows, matching and matroids acquainted me with the elegant and efficient algorithms that were sometimes possible.

Integer programming

TL;DR: The principles of integer programming are directed toward finding solutions to problems from the fields of economic planning, engineering design, and combinatorial optimization as mentioned in this paper, which is a standard of graduate-level courses since 1972.

Incentives in Teams

Theodore Groves
- 01 Jul 1973 - 
TL;DR: This paper analyzes the problem of inducing the members of an organization to behave as if they formed a team and exhibits a particular set of compensation rules, an optimal incentive structure, that leads to team behavior.
