An Approximate Algorithm for Resource Allocation Using Combinatorial Auctions
Combinatorial Auctions (CAs), where users bid on combination of items, have emerged as a useful tool for resource allocation in distributed systems. However, two main difficulties...

On the Sensitivity of Incremental Algorithms for Combinatorial Auctions
Despite the large amounts of runtime needed to adequately solve a combinatorial auction (CA), existing iterative CA auction protocols require winner determination during every rou...

Empirical Hardness for Mixed Auctions
Mixed Multi-Unit Combinatorial Auctions (MMUCAs) offer a high potential to be employed for the automated assembly of supply chains of agents. However, little is known about the fac...
