Distributed Implementations of Vickrey-Clarke-Groves Mechanisms
(IEEE Computer Society, 2004)
Mechanism design (MD) provides a useful method to implement outcomes with desirable properties in systems with self-interested computational agents. One drawback, however, is that computation is implicitly centralized in ...
Optimizing Streaming Applications with Self-Interested Users using M-DPOP
(Universiteit van Amsterdam, 2006)
In this paper we deal with the problem of optimally placing a set of query operators in an overlay network. Each user is interested in performing a query on streaming data and each query has an associated set of in-network ...
Why Markets Could (But Don't Currently) Solve Resource Allocation Problems in Systems
(USENIX, 2005)
Using market mechanisms for resource allocation in distributed systems is not a new idea, nor is it one that has caught on in practice or with a large body of computer science research. Yet, projects that use markets for ...
Mirage: A Microeconomic Resource Allocation System for Sensornet Testbeds
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2005)
In this paper, we argue that a microeconomic resource allocation scheme, specifically the combinatorial auction, is well suited to testbed resource management. To demonstrate this, we present the Mirage resource allocation ...
TBBL: A Tree-Based Bidding Language for Iterative Combinatorial Exchanges
(2005)
We present a novel tree-based logical bidding language, TBBL, for preference elicitation in combinatorial exchanges (CEs). TBBL provides new expressiveness for two-sided markets with agents that are both buying and selling ...
