Worst-case efficiency ratio in false-name-proof combinatorial auction mechanisms
This paper analyzes the worst-case efficiency ratio of falsename-proof combinatorial auction mechanisms. False-nameproofness generalizes strategy-proofness by assuming that a bidd...

Agent interaction, multiple perspectives, and swarming simulation
Agents in a multi-agent system do not act in a vacuum. The outcome of their efforts depends on the environment in which they seek to act, and in particular on the efforts of other...

Coalition structure generation in multi-agent systems with mixed externalities
Coalition structure generation (CSG) for multi-agent systems is a well-studied problem. A vast majority of the previous work and the state-of-the-art approaches to CSG assume a ch...

When should there be a "Me" in "Team"?: distributed multi-agent optimization under uncertainty
Increasing teamwork between agents typically increases the performance of a multi-agent system, at the cost of increased communication and higher computational complexity. This wo...

Parameterizing the winner determination problem for combinatorial auctions
Combinatorial auctions have been studied by the multiagent systems community for some time, since these auctions are an effective mechanism for resource allocation when agents are...
