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.

A tractable multiple agents protocol and algorithm for resource allocation under price rigidities

TL;DR: This work investigates the computational issues of dynamic mechanisms for selling multiple indivisible objects under price rigidities, and proposes a multiple agents protocol and algorithm with polynomial time complexity that can achieve the over-demanded sets of items and introduces a dynamic mechanism with rationing to discover constrainedWalrasian equilibria.

Egalitarian Negotiations in Agent Societies

TL;DR: This study seeks to provide an evenly distributed approach based on a multiagent system, which overcomes the main drawbacks of centralized approaches and provides an adaptive, anytime, and scalable algorithm to hold efficient egalitarian negotiations.

Pyragrid: Bringing Peer-to-Peer and Grid Architectures Together.

TL;DR: The Pyragrid architecture is presented, a novel distributed database system that borrows the principle of locating data used in a peer-to-peer system and extends it to more complex functionality and types of processing.

Average-case analysis of VCG with approximate resource allocation algorithms

TL;DR: An important consequence of the analysis is an argument that using state-of-the-art algorithms for solving combinatorial allocation problems essentially eliminates agent incentives to lie.

Modeling negotiation in combinatorial auctions based on multi-agent

TL;DR: This paper presents a negotiation model which is based on the multi-agent, and gives the basic characteristics and the satisfied conditions of winner determination which is determined by the solution of Nash negotiation and indicates the rationality and fairness of this method.

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.

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.
