A surrogate optimization-based mechanism for resource allocation and routing in networks with strategic agents

F Farhadi, SJ Golestani… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider a mechanism design problem for the joint flow control and multipath routing in
informationally decentralized networks with strategic agents. Based on a surrogate …

Mechanism design for resource allocation in networks with intergroup competition and intragroup sharing

A Sinha, A Anastasopoulos - IEEE Transactions on Control of …, 2017 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider a network where strategic agents, who are contesting for allocation of
resources, are divided into fixed groups. The network control protocol is such that within …

Distributed mechanism design with learning guarantees

A Sinha, A Anastasopoulos - 2017 IEEE 56th Annual …, 2017 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Mechanism design for fully strategic agents commonly assumes that messages are
broadcasted between agents of the system. Moreover, for mechanism design, the stability of …

Nash equilibria for combined flow control and routing in networks: Asymptotic behavior for a large number of users

E Altman, T Basar, R Srikant - IEEE Transactions on automatic …, 2002 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider a noncooperative game framework for combined routing and flow control in a
network of parallel links, where the number of users (players) is arbitrarily large. The utility …

Optimal mechanisms for robust coordination in congestion games

PN Brown, JR Marden - IEEE Transactions on Automatic …, 2017 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Uninfluenced social systems often exhibit suboptimal performance; specially designed taxes
can influence agent choices and thereby bring aggregate social behavior closer to optimal …

Distributed mechanism design for network resource allocation problems

N Heydaribeni… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In the standard mechanism design framework, agents' messages are gathered at a central
point and allocation/tax functions are calculated in a centralized manner, ie, as functions of …

On social optimal routing under selfish learning

W Krichene, MS Castillo… - IEEE transactions on …, 2016 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider a repeated routing game over a finite horizon with partial control under selfish
response, in which a central authority can control a fraction of the flow and seeks to improve …

Distributed mechanism design with learning guarantees for private and public goods problems

A Sinha, A Anastasopoulos - IEEE Transactions on Automatic …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Mechanism design for fully strategic agents typically assumes that agents broadcast their
messages to a central authority that performs allocation and taxes/subsidizes agents. In …

Characterizing contract-based multiagent resource allocation in networks

B An, V Lesser - IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and …, 2009 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider a multiagent resource allocation problem where individual users intend to route
traffic by requesting the help of entities across a network, and a cost is incurred at each …

Utilizing information optimally to influence distributed network routing

BL Ferguson, PN Brown… - 2019 IEEE 58th …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
How can a system designer exploit system-level knowledge to derive incentives to optimally
influence social behavior? The literature on network routing contains many results studying …
