For the problem of allocating one or more items among a group of competing agents, the Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanism is strategy-proof and efficient. However, the VCG mech...
In computational grids, heterogeneous resources with different ownerships are dynamically available and distributed geographically. It is not realistic to build the resource alloc...
We study the problem of hiring a team of selfish agents to perform a task. Each agent is assumed to own one or more elements of a set system, and the auctioneer is trying to purch...

In this paper we present the thread migration mechanism of DSM-PEPE, a multithreaded distributed shared memory system. DSM systems like DSM-PEPE provide a parallel environment to h...
In AI research, mechanism design is typically used to allocate tasks and resources to agents holding private information about their values for possible allocations. In this conte...
