We consider the problem of optimally allocating a limited number of resources across time to maximize revenue under stochastic demands. This formulation is relevant in various areas of control, such as supply chain, ticket revenue…
Scheduling applications on wide-area distributed systems is useful for obtaining quick and reliable results in an efficient manner. Optimized scheduling algorithms are fundamentally important in order to achieve optimized resources…
In the standard Mechanism Design framework, agents' messages are gathered at a central point and allocation/tax functions are calculated in a centralized manner, i.e., as functions of all network agents' messages. This requirement may cause…
Resource allocation and scheduling are a common problem in various distributed systems. Although widely studied, the state-of-the-art solutions either do not scale or lack the expressive power to capture the most complex instances of the…
Multi-agent systems can be extremely efficient when working concurrently and collaboratively, e.g., for delivery, surveillance, search and rescue. Coordination of such teams often involves two aspects: selecting appropriate subteams for…
