Mechanism Design and Communication Costs
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper focuses on implementation issues in environments where it may be costly for the players to send certain messages. We suggest an approach allowing to characterize the set of implementable outcomes, and then apply it to derive optimal mechanisms in a number of environments. The key elements of our approach are the absence of any restrictions on the communication structure in a mechanism and the ability of the principal to screen the agents not only on the basis of their preferences over the outcomes, but also on the basis of their communication abilities.

Design of a novel congestion-aware communication mechanism for wireless NoC architecture in multicore systems
Hybrid Wireless Network-on-Chip (WNoC) architecture is emerged as a scalable communication structure to mitigate the deficits of traditional NOC architecture for the future Multi-core systems. The hybrid WNoC architecture provides energy efficient, high data rate and flexible communications for NoC architectures. In these architectures, each wireless router is shared by a set of processing core...
متن کاملDesign, implementation and evaluation a tool to strengthen physician- patient communication skills of medical students
Introduction: How to communicate and interact with the patient play an effective role in patient satisfaction, treatment outcome, psychological effects, medical costs, clinical competence of physician, and even patient’s complaining. these skills can be learned. Studies showed that physician did not receive enough training regarding general communication skills. this study aimed to provide a to...
متن کاملNetwork Optimization with Concave Costs
In this paper the problem of minimum cost communication network design is considered where the costs are piecewise linear concave. Several methods are compared: Simulated Annealing method, a heuristic based on the method proposed by Minoux, and a lagrangian method based on lower bounding procedure.
متن کاملA fuzzy capacitated facility location-network design model: A hybrid firefly and invasive weed optimization (FIWO) solution
Facility location-network design (FLND) problem, which determines the location of facilities and also communication links between the demand and facility nodes, is arisen from the combination of the facility location and network design problems. This paper deals with fuzzy capacitated facility location-network design model which aims to select the facilities and candidate links in a way that yi...
متن کاملInterference : Contracts and Authority with Insecure Communication ∗
We develop a theory of mechanism design when agents are able to interfere with each others’ communication channels. We develop a kind of revelation principle, the “Noninterference Principle” which permits representation of arbitrary mechanisms by direct ones. The incentives to interfere will depend on the mechanism chosen; interference thus constrains contractual design. For instance, authority...
