Transportation service procurement using combinatorial auctions
… on combinations of different assets are called combinatorial auctions. With shipper being the auctioneer and carriers being the bidders, combinatorial auction has become increasingly important in the transportation service procurement domain, due to its mechanism to align shipper s procurement …

Existence of competitive equilibria in combinatorial auctions
… provides a natural steady state for iterative combinatorial auctions that maximize social welfare, and therefore the first step in auction design is to establish its existence. Recent work by Baldwin and Klemperer (2012) has proved that the "demand type" of valuations being "unimodular" is a …

Bidder response to combinatorial auctions in truckload procurement
… use conditional bids within the framework of a combinatorial auction to win more business and balance their existing networks. Because a considerable portion of a truckload carrier's cost of serving a given lane is associated with the probability of finding a follow-on load (i.e. economies of …

Algorithms for bundling and pricing trucking services: Deterministic and stochastic approaches
… develop revenue management strategies. Reverse combinatorial auctions for trucking services are real-world examples that illustrate the necessity of such strategies. In these auctions, a shipper asks carriers for quotes to serve combinations of lanes and the carriers have to bundle demand and …

Resource Modeling and Allocation in Competitive Systems
… and their impact on the auctioneer's revenue in combinatorial auctions, focusing on combinatorial auctions, we propose a simple and efficient model for evaluating the value of any bundle given limited information, design bidding strategies that efficiently select desirable bundles, and evaluate …

Combinatorial Auction-Based Virtual Machine Provisioning And Allocation In Clouds
… to be allocated to large number of users, auctions are the most efficient allocation mechanisms. Auctions achieve efficiency of allocation and also maximize the providers' revenue, which a fixed-price based mechanism is unable to do. We argue that combinatorial auctions are best suited for …

Revenue considerations in market design
… commodities and resources. Examples include combinatorial auctions, markets for selling resources, and markets for selling cloud services. The objective here is to maximize the revenue for the market designer. This problem is difficult because the information required for a smart market to …

Resource Management in Large-scale Systems
… above. Algorithms such as coalition formation, combinatorial auctions and clustering algorithm for scale-free organizations of scale-free networks. 3. Evaluation. Eventually we conducted different evaluations for the proposed models and algorithms in order to verify them. All the simulations …

Modeling price and demand in cloud computing systems
… research alternatives to this include combinatorial auctions. Analyses of these systems often utilize a simplistic model of a user. This thesis aims to introduce a more realistic user model and analyze optimization from the user's perspective in an environment similar to that of the …

The structure of auctions : optimality and efficiency
The problem of constructing auctions to maximize expected revenue is central to mechanism design and to algorithmic game theory. While the special case of selling a single item has been well understood since the work of Myerson, progress on the multi-item case has been sporadic over the past three …

Análisis de la Relajación Lagrangiana como método de programación de talleres flexibles en un entorno multiagente
… as price mechanism in the context of iterative combinatorial auctions. The development of multiagent systems has enabled the implementation of distributed production scheduling systems. The coordination mechanism is crucial in these systems and its design is an important field of research. In …

A Multi-Agent System and Auction Mechanism for Production Planning over Multiple Facilities in an Advanced Planning and Scheduling System
… system and negotiation protocol based on combinatorial auction framework to solve the given multi-facility planning problem. The output of this research is a software library, which can be used as a multi-agent system model of the multi-product, multi-facility capacity allocation problem. …
