Bidding algorithms for a distributed combinatorial auction
Distributed allocation and multiagent coordination problems can be solved through combinatorial auctions. However, most of the existing winner determination algorithms for combina...

Applying metaheuristic techniques to search the space of bidding strategies in combinatorial auctions
Many non-cooperative settings that could potentially be studied using game theory are characterized by having very large strategy spaces and payoffs that are costly to compute. Be...

When Analysis Fails: Heuristic Mechanism Design via Self-correcting Procedures
Abstract. Computational mechanism design (CMD) seeks to understand how to design game forms that induce desirable outcomes in multiagent systems despite private information, self-i...
