In this paper we investigate experimentally the performance of Marginal Cost (MC) and Shapley Value (SH) mechanisms for sharing the cost of multicast transmissions. We implement a...
Sharing the cost of multicast transmissions was studied in the past and two mechanisms, Marginal Cost and Shapley Value, were proposed. Compared to the Marginal Cost Mechanism the...
Abundant content, data type and diverse members' interests naturally lead to preference heterogeneity within a multicast session requiring frequent communication within subgr...
—We evaluate three extensions to directory-based cache coherence protocols in shared-memory multiprocessors. These extensions are aimed at reducing the penalties associated with ...
In this paper we study the mechanism design problem of coalition formation and cost sharing in an electronic marketplace, where buyers can form coalitions to take advantage of dis...
