Unlike the traditional advertising practices, in the process of Real time bidding (RTB), the impressions of a mobile application or a website are mapped to a particular advertiser through a real time auction, which triggers after an application is launched. As one of the key components of the RTB ecosystem, demand side platform (DSP) furnishes the advertisers a full pledge window to bid for ava...

We describe two strategies for bidding on customer RFQs in the Supply Chain Management Trading Agent Competition. The first strategy, used by Botticelli in previous years, is to model and solve the problem as integer linear program. The second strategy is a greedy algorithm where customer demand is scheduled according to the predicted marginal profit. Both strategies have been implemented in th...

Combinatorial auctions are nowadays used in a variety of application domains such as transportation or industrial procurement using a variety of bidding languages and different side constraints. This flexibility in the bidding languages and the side constraints is essential in these domains, but has not been considered in the theoretical literature so far. In this paper, we analyze different pr...

In a deregulated electricity market, CM is one of the key functions of a System Operator (SO) as congestion threatens system security and may cause rise in electricity price resulting in market inefficiency. Rescheduling generations and demands is an effective tool to relieve congestion. This paper presents a congestion management (CM) algorithm by optimal rescheduling of active powers of gener...

Nowadays generation capacity in traditional grid depends on fossil fuels and contributes significantly to the increase of pollution emission. In deregulated grids in addition to using demand response programs (DRPs) to reducing the cost of electricity production, peak clipping and improve reliability use of green Plants such as hydro plant, wind plant become widespread. In a smart grid, end use...

We consider the problem of repeated bidding in online advertising auctions when some side information (e.g. browser cookies) is available ahead of submitting a bid in the form of a d-dimensional vector. The goal for the advertiser is to maximize the total utility (e.g. the total number of clicks) derived from displaying ads given that a limited budget B is allocated for a given time horizon T ....

Demand-side response (DR) is emerging as a crucial technology to assure stability of modern power grids. The uncertainty about the cost agents face for reducing consumption imposes challenges in achieving reliable, coordinated response. In recent work, Ma et al. [13] introduce DR as a mechanism design problem and solve it for a setting where an agent has a binary preparation decision and where,...
