Market-based methods are an emerging paradigm for controlling large decentralized
systems. We introduce in this paper a bidding mechanism for allocation of Internet resources …

We model the interaction between the network and the network users as a noncooperative
game and study the Nash equilibrium points (NEP) of the game. We show that there is a …

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 …

A progressive second price (PSP) auction mechanism was proposed in [11 for network
bandwidth allocation. In this paper a quantized version of this mechanism (QPSP) is …

We propose a mechanism for auctioning bundles of multiple divisible goods in a network
where buyers want the same amount of bandwidth on each link in their route. Buyers can …

Traditional network optimization focuses on a single control objective in a network populated
by obedient users and limited dispersion of information. However, most of today's networks …

A progressive second price (PSP) auction mechanism was proposed in Semret et al.(2000,
IEEE J. Select. Areas Commun., 18, 2499–2513) for network bandwidth allocation. In this …

In this paper, we study a class of progressive second price (PSP) auctions introduced by
Lazar & Semret (1999, Design and analysis of the progressive second price auction for …

In this paper we introduce a capacity allocation game which models the problem of
maximizing network utility from the perspective of distributed noncooperative agents …

Game theory has emerged as a fruitful paradigm for the design of networked multiagent
systems. A fundamental component of this approach is the design of agents' utility functions …
