Enhancing electricity auction mechanism with FACTS devices
… In the deregulated electric power market, auction is demonstrated to be an effective way to achieve the Pareto optimality. The auction scheme in this work is double-sided SPCA (single period commodity auction). The auction problem is formulated in a linear form and can be solved by LP …

A Multi-Agent System and Auction Mechanism for Production Planning over Multiple Facilities in an Advanced Planning and Scheduling System
… other researchers who have worked in this field, auction theoretic mechanisms are a good way to solve complex production planning problems. This research study develops a multi-agent system and negotiation protocol based on combinatorial auction framework to solve the given multi-facility planning …

Essays on Conservation Auctions and Uncertainty in Preferences
… includes two chapters. The first presents a new auction mechanism designed for conservation programs. Individuals compensated for conserving their land often extract substantial profits from the government or non-governmental agency funding the conservation program. These rents limit the amount …

Game theoretic analysis and agent-based simulation of electricity markets
… In the first part, a specific electricity auction mechanism based on a Japanese power market is investigated analytically from several game theoretic viewpoints. In the second part, electricity auctions are simulated using agent-based modeling.

Spectrum Auctions for Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks
We examine the problem of designing an auction-based market mechanism for dynamic spectrum sharing when there are multiple sellers and multiple buyers. We assume that the sellers are selfish players and focus on an optimal auction mechanism that maximizes the expected payoff or profit of the …

Dynamic channel allocation in satellite and wireless networks
… delay. Specifically, we develop a novel auction-based algorithm to allow users to fairly compete for a downlink wireless fading channel. We first use the second-price auction mechanism whereby user bids for the channel, during each time-slot, based on the fade state of the channel, and …

Learning-based adaptive design for dynamic spectrum access in cognitive radio networks.
… network. As the first approach, we consider the auction-based formulation in design of dynamic spectrum access mechanisms where it is assumed that primary channels are heterogeneous with distinct availability statistics unknown to each secondary user (SU). Considering this approach, we first …

A Computational and Experimental Examination of the FCC Incentive Auction
… Federal Communications Commission debuted a new auction mechanism, the Incentive Auction, with the intention of obtaining high frequency television broadcasting spectrum, repurposing it for cellular use, and reselling these licenses at profitable prices. In designing this process, the traditional …

Cooperative and Non-Cooperative Flow Control in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
… service"" model of cooperation, and utilizes an auction mechanism at each router to fairly allocate bandwidth resources to the passing flows. At the same time, the auction markets give explicit rate signals to the end-hosts for flow control purpose. We show that iPass achieves several desirable …

Relationship between timing of multiple retention bonuses and the quality of officers retained on the cost savings for the Navy
… military when provided in conjunction with an auction bonus system. Using the standard bonus system compared to the uniform price auction, the Quality Adjusted Discount (QUAD) auction, and Combinatorial Retention Auction Mechanism (CRAM), we determined which would be most effective for …

Evaluating subsidy programmes for ecological conservation: insights from quasi-experimental and experimental evidence
… PES. Furthermore, the integration of an auction mechanism within the PES, aimed at optimizing the allocation of conservation contracts, has the potential to enable cost-effective delivery of environmental services and goods. Additionally, enhancing spatial coordination in farmers’ …

MODELING AND RESOURCE ALLOCATION IN MOBILE WIRELESS NETWORKS
… (RaaS). In this thesis, we present a novel auction-based model to enable fair pricing and fair resource allocation according to real-time needs of MVNOs for RaaS. Based on the proposed model, we study the auction mechanism design with the objective of maximizing social welfare. We present an …

An analysis of spectrum allocation for the mobile phone services
… to all the operators within country. Moreover, auction mechanism of spectrum allocation reduces the mobile broadband price. Our results imply that the regulatory authority and policy makers need to promote access of radio spectrum for mobile services. Moreover, a spectrum assignment mechanism …

Private Provision of Public Goods: Uniform Price Mechanisms with a Threshold and Dynamics with a Tipping Point
… value information, PI), we introduce two novel mechanisms for provision point public goods: The uniform price auction mechanism (UPA) collects an endogenously determined uniform price from everyone offering at least that price, while the uniform price cap mechanism (UPC) collects the uniform …

Search engine advertising in web retailing : an efficiency analysis
… such as Google and Yahoo! through keyword auctions. The rationale being that greater visibility on a search engine during a keyword search will capture customers' interest in a business and its product or service offerings. Search engines account for most online activities today. Compared …

Analysis of Blockchain-based Smart Contracts for Peer-to-Peer Solar Electricity Transactive Markets
… and explores a comparative analysis of different auction mechanisms that form the basis of smart contracts. Considered auction mechanisms are discriminatory and uniform k-Double Auction with different k values. This thesis also investigates effects of four consumer and prosumer bidding strategies: …
