Download or read book How to Bid Effectively in Multi Unit Multi Item Combinatorial Auctions written by Anup K. Sen and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a bid is placed on a package in a combinatorial auction (CA), the bid value must be large enough to ensure that the package remains in contention for inclusion in winning combinations in future. The Deadness Level (DL) of a package can serve as an ask price on a fresh bid that can be meaningfully placed on it. Package DL values in single-unit CAs are readily determined. In recent years, however, interest in multi-unit CAs has grown rapidly. The number of packages can be very large in this case, and bidders need greater guidance in estimating valuations. But the DL value of a package tends to creep upwards unsteadily as more bids are placed, and no closed form expression or computational method has been found for it as yet. Here we present for the first time an exact method for determining package DLs in the multi-unit case, assuming that an OR bidding language is being used. A dynamic programming implementation is described that enables fast incremental computations of ask prices after each bid. Experimental runs on simulated data and live data from a recent U.K. multi-unit spectrum auction show that the memory requirement is not excessive. Thus the proposed method could help to promote bidder participation in online multi-unit eBay-like CAs in the procurement and sale of commodities.

Download or read book Agreement Technologies written by Sascha Ossowski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-20 with total page 655 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More and more transactions, whether in business or related to leisure activities, are mediated automatically by computers and computer networks, and this trend is having a significant impact on the conception and design of new computer applications. The next generation of these applications will be based on software agents to which increasingly complex tasks can be delegated, and which interact with each other in sophisticated ways so as to forge agreements in the interest of their human users. The wide variety of technologies supporting this vision is the subject of this volume. It summarises the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action project on Agreement Technologies (AT), during which approximately 200 researchers from 25 European countries, along with eight institutions from non-COST countries, cooperated as part of a number of working groups. The book is the first to provide a comprehensive overview of the emerging field of Agreement Technologies, written and coordinated by the leading researchers in the field. The results set out here are due for wide dissemination beyond the computer technology sector, involving law and social science as well.

This book was released on 2012-10-10 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains 9 thoroughly refereed and revised papers detailing recent advances in research on designing trading agents and mechanisms for agent-mediated e-commerce. They were originally presented at the 12th International Workshop on Agent-Mediated Electronic Commerce (AMEC 2010), collocated with AAMAS 2010 in Toronto, Canada, or the 2010 Workshop on Trading Agent Design and Analysis (TADA 2010), collocated with EC 2010 in Cambridge, MA, USA. The papers examine emerging topics such as ad auctions and supply chains, or the interactions between competing markets, and present novel algorithms and rigorous theoretical results. Several of them evaluate their results using real data from large e-commerce sites or from experiments with human traders.

This book was released on 2008-10-20 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 9th International Workshop on Agent-Mediated Electronic Commerce, AMEC IX, co-located with the Sixth International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, AAMAS 2007, held in Honolulu, Hawai, in May 2007, and the 5th Workshop on Trading Agent Design and Analysis, TADA 2007, co-located with the Twenty-Second AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, AAAI 2007, held in Vancouver, Canada, in July 2007. This volume presents 15 carefully revised and selected papers from these workshops. The primary and complementary goal of both workshops was to continue to bring together novel work from diverse fields on modeling, implementation and evaluation of computational trading institutions and/or agent strategies. The papers originating from AMEC focus on a large variety of issues on auctions, negotiation, and strategic behavior in electronic marketplaces. The papers originating from TADA reflect the effort of the community to design scenarios where trading agent designers and market designers can be pitched against one another.
Download or read book Market Design written by Martin Bichler and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The digital economy led to many new services where supply is matched with demand for various types of goods and services. More and more people and organizations are now in a position to design market rules that are being implemented in software. The design of markets is challenging as it needs to consider strategic behavior of market participants, psychological factors, and computational problems in order to implement the objectives of a designer. Market models in economics have not lost their importance, but the recent years have led to many new insights and principles for the design of markets, which are beyond traditional economic theory. This book introduces the fundamentals of market design, an engineering field concerned with the design of real-world markets.
