Much attention has been paid to the problem of optimally utilizing resources such as spectrum, power and time in order to achieve the best video delivery quality in wireless commu...
Developing dispatching rules for manufacturing systems is a tedious process, which is time- and cost-consuming. Since there is no good general rule for different scenarios and ob...
We investigate the algorithmic performance of Vickrey-Clarke-Groves mechanisms in the single item case. We provide a formal definition of a Vickrey algorithm for this framework, a...
