Comparing multiagent systems research in combinatorial auctions and voting
In a combinatorial auction, a set of resources is for sale, and agents can bid on subsets of these resources. In a voting setting, the agents decide among a set of alternatives by...

Algorithm for optimal winner determination in combinatorial auctions
Combinatorial auctions, that is, auctions where bidders can bid on combinations of items, tend to lead to more efficient allocations than traditional auction mechanisms in multi-i...

Single Parameter Combinatorial Auctions with Partially Public Valuations
We consider the problem of designing truthful auctions, when the bidders' valuations have a public and a private component. In particular, we consider combinatorial auctions w...

Bidding Languages and Winner Determination for Mixed Multi-unit Combinatorial Auctions
We introduce a new type of combinatorial auction that allows agents to bid for goods to buy, for goods to sell, and for transformations of goods. One such transformation can be se...

On the Sensitivity of Incremental Algorithms for Combinatorial Auctions
Despite the large amounts of runtime needed to adequately solve a combinatorial auction (CA), existing iterative CA auction protocols require winner determination during every rou...

Secure Generalized Vickrey Auction without Third-party Servers
This paper presents a secure Generalized Vickrey Auction (GVA) scheme that does not require third-party servers, i.e., the scheme is executed only by an auctioneer and bidders. Com...

Combinatorial Auction-Based Protocols for Resource Allocation in Grids
In this paper, we introduce the combinatorial auction model for resource management in grids. We propose a combinatorial auction-based resource allocation protocol in which a user...
