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.

Multi-unit combinatorial reverse auctions with transformability relationships among goods

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend the notion of multi-unit combinatorial reverse auction by adding a new dimension to the goods at auction, which allows a buyer to express transformability relationships among goods: some goods can be transformed into others at a transformation cost.

AND/OR branch-and-bound search for pure 0/1 integer linear programming problems

TL;DR: This paper introduces a new dynamic AND/OR Branch-and-Bound algorithm able to accommodate variable ordering heuristics and demonstrates the effectiveness of the dynamic And/OR approach on a variety of benchmarks for pure 0/1 integer programming.

Maximizing welfare through cooperative negotiation in a multi-agent Internet economy

TL;DR: This work investigates markets for goods that are characterized by an experience-limited supply curve and proposes an algorithm that maximizes the welfare in the e-market by maximizing the combined profit of the buyers and sellers.

Enabling Privacy-preserving Auctions in Big Data

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a privacy-preserving construction for auction mechanism design in the big data, which prevents adversaries from learning unnecessary information except those implied in the valid output of the auction.

Combinatorial auction with minimal resource requirements

TL;DR: This paper considers a combinatorial auction problem in which an auctioneer wants to acquire resources from a set of bidders to process the tasks on hand, and develops a problem formulation and solution methodology based on Lagrangian relaxation.

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.
