Solving Combinatorial Auctions Using Stochastic Local Search
Combinatorial auctions (CAs) have emerged as an important model in economics and show promise as a useful tool for tackling resource allocation in AI. Unfortunately, winner determ...

Methods for Boosting Revenue in Combinatorial Auctions
We study the recognized open problem of designing revenuemaximizing combinatorial auctions. It is unsolved even for two bidders and two items for sale. Rather than pursuing the pu...

Envy Quotes and the Iterated Core-Selecting Combinatorial Auction
Using a model of agent behavior based around envy-reducing strategies, we describe an iterated combinatorial auction in which the allocation and prices converge to a solution in t...

Comparing winner determination algorithms for mixed multi-unit combinatorial auctions
Mixed multi-unit combinatorial auctions are combinatorial auctions in which the auctioneer and the bidders negotiate over transformations rather than over simple goods. By proposi...

Approximate bidding algorithms for a distributed combinatorial auction
Distributed allocation and multiagent coordination problems can be solved through combinatorial auctions (CAs). However, most of the existing winner determination algorithms (WDAs...

Modelling Combinatorial Auctions in Linear Logic
We show that linear logic can serve as an expressive framework in which to model a rich variety of combinatorial auction mechanisms. Due to its resource-sensitive nature, linear l...

Expressing Interaction in Combinatorial Auction through Social Integrity Constraints
Abstract. Combinatorial Auctions are an attractive application of intelligent agents; their applications are countless and are shown to provide good revenues. On the other hand, on...

A Framework for Computing the Outcome of Proxied Combinatorial Auctions
Proxy bidding has been proposed for combinatorial auctions as a means to speed up the auctions, to simplify the user interface, and to limit strategic behavior. The only previousl...

On the Empirical Evaluation of Mixed Multi-Unit Combinatorial Auctions
Abstract. Mixed Multi-Unit Combinatorial Auctions extend and generalise all the preceding types of combinatorial auctions. In this paper, we try to make headway on the practical ap...
