—In this paper, we investigate the maximization of the coverage time for a clustered wireless sensor network (WSN) by optimal balancing of power consumption among cluster heads (...
Coalition formation methods allow agents to join together and are thus necessary in cases where tasks can only be performed cooperatively by groups. This is the case in the Reques...
Restricting the preferences of the agents by assuming that their utility functions linearly depend on a payment allows for the positive results of the Vickrey auction and the Vick...
