We study the question of how to easily recognize whether a social unction f from an abstract type space to a set of outcomes is truthful, i.e. implementable by a truthful mechanis...
Although recent advances in theory indicate that burstiness in the service time process can be handled effectively by queueing models (e.g., MAP queueing networks [2]), there is a...
