DFCA: A Flexible Refundable Auction for Limited Capacity Suppliers
This paper proposes anovel auction-basedmechanismsnamed Decreasing Cancellation Fee Auction (DCFA) for task allocation in the environment where a service provider has finite capacities and consumers could withdraw their bids. We consider a new type of auction called the refundable auction, i. e. refund means that a consumer’s showing up is uncertain and he can get back partial of his payment if...
متن کاملPricing and Capacity Allocation Strategies of Suppliers in an Electronic Market
We analyze a problem where a market maker on behalf of buyers allocates a given amount of order among N suppliers each with finite capacity. Specifically, we analyze a situation in which suppliers have the option of going to open market and selling their capacity at a market price. However, the supplier will incur search costs. Moreover, the demand for the supplier capacity in the open market i...
متن کاملLearning Task Performance in Market-Based Task Allocation
Auction based algorithms offer effective methods for de-centralized task assignment in multi-agent teams. Typically there is an implicit assumption that agents can be trusted to effectively perform assigned tasks. However, reliable performance of team members may not always be a valid assumption. An approach to learning team member performance is presented, which enables more efficient task ass...
متن کاملLearning-Enhanced Market-Based Task Allocation for Disaster Response
In this work we propose a market-based task allocation system for disaster response domains. We model the disaster response domain as a team of robots cooperating to extinguish a series of fires that arise due to a disaster. Each fire is associated with a time-decreasing reward for successful mitigation, with the value of the initial reward corresponding to task importance, and the speed of dec...
متن کاملMarket-based Complex Task Allocation for Multirobot Teams
In order for a team of autonomous robots to perform a complex mission effectively, an efficient assignment of tasks to robots must be determined. Existing multirobot task allocation algorithms treat tasks as simple, indivisible entities. However, when dealing with complex tasks, the structure and semantics of the tasks can be exploited to produce more efficient team plans by giving individual r...
