True costs of cheap labor are hard to measure: edge deletion and VCG payments in graphs
We address the problem of lowering the buyer’s expected payments in shortest path auctions, where the buyer’s goal is to purchase a path in a graph in which edges are owned by...

The (True) Concurrent Markov Property and Some Applications to Markov Nets
Abstract. We study probabilistic safe Petri nets, a probabilistic extension of safe Petri nets interpreted under the true-concurrent semantics. In particular, the likelihood of pro...

Negotiating over small bundles of resources
When rational but myopic agents negotiate over the exchange of indivisible resources, any restriction to the negotiation protocol may prevent the system from converging to a socia...

Not all linear functions are equally difficult for the compact genetic algorithm
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) try to solve an optimization problem by finding a probability distribution focussed around its optima. For this purpose they conduct ...
