This paper contains the description of experiments done so far in the combinatorial auction scenario. We describe the computee side and the society side. In this context we introduce also external objects providing services to the computees themselves, and in particular implementing a complex optimization algorithm. Experimental results are given for a traditional combinatorial auction and for ...

This paper examines economic resource allocation through a number of auction types for a grid of ewaste computers. It examines the time to complete tasks and the energy usage of completing the tasks on a grid. A model of a simulated grid is developed and used to evaluate the resource allocation mechanisms. The model is an agent-based simulation where by user agents submit tasks to node agents t...

We consider a double-auction mechanism, which was recently proposed in the context of rate allocation mobile data-offloading markets; our mechanism is also applicable to problem bandwidth network slicing markets. Network operators (users) derive benefit from offloading their traffic third party WiFi or femtocell networks (link-suppliers). Link-suppliers experience costs for additional capacity ...

The theory of auctions has ignored the fact that often auction designers, not the principal, design auctions In a multi attribute auction, the auction designer may bias his subjective evaluation of quality or distort the relative weights of the various attributes to favor a specific bidder, an ancient concern in the procurement of weapons, in the auctioning of government contracts and in the pu...
