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.

Augmenting Local Search for Satisfiability

TL;DR: Two new local search methods are proposed and tested, the first, SDF, demonstrating the value of the insights drawn from the metrics, and the second, ESG, achieving state-of-the-art performance and generalizing the approach to arbitrary 0-1 integer linear programming problems.

Standard Single-Unit Auctions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the standard single unit auctions: ascending (English), descending (Dutch), first-price sealed-bid, and second price sealed bid, and the equivalences among them are mentioned.

A Negotiation Method Based on Opportunity Cost in the Trucking Cargo Transportation Market

TL;DR: This study has tried to prove that the result of an agent-based negotiation is the Pareto optimal solution under the present market environment by analysing e-Marketplace, structure of shipping expenses and brokerage system in the trucking cargo transportation industry.

Query trading in digital libraries

TL;DR: This paper model the task of query optimization and execution as a task of trading CPU-processing, queries and query-answers, and shows that this framework satisfies the needs of modern DL federations by respecting the autonomy of DL nodes and natively supporting their business model.

Lectures on Combinatorial Auctions

TL;DR: These are lecture notes for one third of the class CS364B, Topics in Algorithmic Game Theory, offered at Stanford University in the Fall 2005 term, covering the topic of combinatorial auctions, with an undeniably strong bias toward recent work by the “STOC/FOCS” (algorithms and complexity) community.

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.

- 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.
