Auction Protocols for Decentralized Scheduling
Decentralized scheduling is the problem of allocating resources to alternative possible uses over time, where competing uses are represented by autonomous agents. Market mechanisms use prices derived through distributed bidding protocols to determine schedules. We investigate the existence of equilibrium prices for some general classes of scheduling problems, the quality of equilibrium solution...

متن کاملA MULTI-OBJECTIVE DECENTRALIZED MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS SCHEDULING PROBLEM CONSIDERING PERIODIC SERVICES AND ORDERING POLICIES
In decentralized construction projects, costs are mostly related to investment, material, holding, logistics, and other minor costs for implementation. For this reason, simultaneous planning of these items and appropriate scheduling of activities can significantly reduce the total costs of the project undertaken. This paper investigates the decentralized multiple construction projects schedulin...
متن کاملEfficiency analysis of load balancing games with and without activation costs
In this paper, we study two models of resource allocation games: the classical load balancing game and its new variant involving resource activation costs. The resources we consider are identical and the social costs of the games are utilitarian, which are the average of all individual players’ costs. Using the social costs we assess the quality of pure Nash equilibria in terms of the price of ...
متن کاملLoad-scheduling and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles in the Smart Grid
Peak demand is a well-known problem in the power grid. It denotes the amount of power required to supply consumers at times when demand is highest. Load peaks can have a negative impact on the stability of the power grid and maintenance costs for transmission and generation companies. Because of this, electricity prices often increase during peak demand. Currently, increasing use of plug-in hyb...
