Specification and Verification of Agent Interaction Using Abductive Reasoning
[chapter]
2006

Due-Date Management Through Iterative Bidding
2011
IEEE transactions on systems, man and cybernetics. Part A. Systems and humans
We study the integrated due date management in an economic setting where customers are modeled as self-interested agents and the objective of the firm is to maximize social welfare. ...
However, given limited production capacity and various cost constraints, the firm has to balance the attractiveness of their due date quotations and the reliability in terms of scheduling and delivering ...
For 2 We approach the integrated DDM from a social-welfare perspective. ...

Computationally-efficient combinatorial auctions for resource allocation in weakly-coupled MDPs
2005
Proceedings of the fourth international joint conference on Autonomous agents and multiagent systems - AAMAS '05
In particular, generalized Vickrey auctions (GVAs) yield socially optimal outcomes and have excellent strategic complexity, but suffer from high computational complexity for the agents' preference-valuation ...
Combinatorial auctions are popular mechanisms for allocating resource bundles among agents with such complex preferences. ...
Then, P a xia gives the total expected discounted flow through state i, and the constraints in the above LP can be interpreted as the conservation of flow through each of the states. ...

When a BarSAA auction converges, the equilibrium point is Pareto Optimal and achieves social efficient outcome and double-sided revenue maximization. ...
In addition, BarSAA promotes truthful behavior among selfish nodes. Through game theoretical analysis, we demonstrate that truthful revelation is beneficial to bidders in making bidding strategies. ...
Combinatorial auction was well studied in economic research and is well known for its benefit of allowing bidders to better express their valuations and preferences for enhanced competition and improved ...
