Truthful Auction for CPU Time Slots

We consider the task of designing a truthful auction mechanism for CPU time scheduling problem. There are m commodities (time slots) T = {t1, t2, . . . , tm} for n buyers I = {1, 2, . . . , n}. Each buyer requires a number of time slots si for its task. The valuation function of buyer i for a bundle of time slots Ti is vi(Ti) = wi(m− t), where t is the last time slot in Ti and |Ti| = si. The ut...

Triangular Slots for Wireless Communication Applications

This paper presents a microstrip antenna using CPW-fed heptagonal shaped antenna embedded with triangular shaped slots for WLAN/WIMAX applications. The proposed antenna provides an impedance bandwidth of 3.08 GHz. The antenna exhibits dual frequency bands 3.4 GHz to 6.48 GHz, covering WLAN and WiMAX bands. The parametric study is performed to understand the characteristics of the proposed anten...

Assignment of Arrival Slots

Industry participants agree that, when inclement weather forces the FAA to reassign airport landing slots, incentives and property rights should be respected. We show that the FAA’s Compression Algorithm is incentive compatible, but fails to guarantee a form of property rights. This is significant since these conditions were the motivation for introducing Compression a decade ago. We give an al...

For this, it uses daily data of both futures and spot prices from Azar 1387 to Tir 1397. A cointegration analysis shows that in horizons shorter than 100 days, there is a significant one-to-one relation between these two prices which im...
