Multiple task assignments for cooperating uninhabited aerial vehicles using genetic algorithms
A problem of assigning cooperating uninhabited aerial vehicles to perform multiple tasks on multiple targets is posed as a new combinatorial optimization problem. A genetic algori...

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...

Geometric surrogate-based optimisation for permutation-based problems
In continuous optimisation, surrogate models (SMs) are used when tackling real-world problems whose candidate solutions are expensive to evaluate. In previous work, we showed that...

The one-commodity traveling salesman problem with selective pickup and delivery: An ant colony approach
We introduce a novel combinatorial optimization problem: the one-commodity traveling salesman problem with selective pickup and delivery (1-TSP-SELPD), characterized by the fact th...

Differential-revelation VCG mechanisms for combinatorial auctions
Combinatorial auctions, where bidders can submit bids on bundles of items, are economically efficient mechanisms for selling items to bidders, and are attractive when the bidders...
