A Characterization of 2-Player Mechanisms for Scheduling
We study the mechanism design problem of scheduling unrelated machines and we completely characterize the decisive truthful mechanisms for two players when the domain contains bot...

Black-box reductions for cost-sharing mechanism design
We consider the design of strategyproof cost-sharing mechanisms. We give two simple, but extremely versatile, black-box reductions, that in combination reduce the cost-sharing mec...

Truthful assignment without money
We study the design of truthful mechanisms that do not use payments for the generalized assignment problem (GAP) and its variants. An instance of the GAP consists of a bipartite g...

Preemptive Scheduling on Selfish Machines
We consider the problem of scheduling on parallel uniformly related machines, where preemptions are allowed and the machines are controlled by selfish agents. Our goal is to minimi...
