We consider the parallels between the preference elicitation problem in combinatorial auctions and the problem of learning an unknown function from learning theory. We show that l...
In many market settings, agents do not know their preferences a priori. Instead, they may have to solve computationally complex optimization problems, query databases, or perform ...
In this paper we argue that the best approach to providing Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees to current Internet services is to use admission control and traffic shaping techni...

Throughput, power consumption, signal integrity, pin count and routing complexity are all increasingly important interconnect issues that the system designer must deal with. Recen...
Given two admission control algorithms that are cA-acceptcompetitive and cR-reject-competitive respectively, we give two ways to make an algorithm that is simultaneously O(cA)acce...
