The Slider-Pinning Problem
A Laman mechanism is a flexible planar bar-and-joint framework with m ≤ 2n−3 edges and exactly k = 2n− m degrees of freedom. The slider-pinning problem is to eliminate all ...

Trading off solution cost for smaller runtime in DCOP search algorithms
Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) is a key technique for solving multiagent coordination problems. Unfortunately, finding minimal-cost DCOP solutions is NP-hard. We there...

Frugality in path auctions
We consider the problem of picking (buying) an inexpensive s-t path in a graph where edges are owned by independent (selfish) agents, and the cost of an edge is known to its owner...

Exploiting anarchy in networks: a game-theoretic approach to combining fairness and throughput
— We propose a novel mechanism for routing and bandwidth allocation that exploits the selfish and rational behavior of flows in a network. Our mechanism leads to allocations th...
