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.

Towards real-time dynamic spectrum auctions

TL;DR: This paper proposes a low-complexity auction framework to distribute spectrum in real-time among a large number of wireless users with dynamic traffic with a compact and highly expressive bidding format, and develops analytical bounds on algorithm performance and complexity to verify the efficiency.

Toward Comprehensive Real-Time Bidder Support in Iterative Combinatorial Auctions

TL;DR: This paper addresses various computational problems that are relevant from the bidder's perspective and introduces two bid evaluation metrics that can be used by bidders to determine whether any given bid can be a part of the winning allocation and explores their theoretical properties.

Auction-Based Mechanisms for Electronic Procurement

TL;DR: The survey delineates different representative scenarios in e-procurement where auctions can be deployed and describes the conceptual and mathematical aspects of different categories of procurement auctions, and presents the mathematical formulations under each of the above categories.

Auctions for multi-robot task allocation in communication limited environments

TL;DR: It is found that G-Prim and its repeated variant perform relatively well when communication is poor, and that re-sending winner data in later rounds is an easy way to improve the performance of multi-round auctions, in general.

Quality-Aware Service Selection for Service-Based Systems Based on Iterative Multi-Attribute Combinatorial Auction

TL;DR: Experimental results show that by exploiting the complementarities between services and the competition among service providers, CASS significantly outperforms existing quality-aware service selection approaches in finding optimal solutions and guaranteeing system optimality.

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.
