This paper presents a comprehensive literature review on applications of economic and
pricing models for resource management in cloud networking. To achieve sustainable profit …

This paper presents a comprehensive literature review on applications of economic and
pricing theory for resource management in the evolving fifth generation (5G) wireless …

The literature on algorithmic mechanism design is mostly concerned with game-theoretic
versions of optimization problems to which standard economic money-based mechanisms …

This work studies resource allocation in a cloud market through the auction of Virtual
Machine (VM) instances. It generalizes the existing literature by introducing combinatorial …

We consider the problem of maximizing welfare when allocating m items to n players with
subadditive utility functions. Our main result is a way of rounding any fractional solution to a …

When attempting to design a truthful mechanism for a computationally hard problem such as
combinatorial auctions, one is faced with the problem that most efficiently computable …

Auction mechanisms have recently attracted substantial attention as an efficient approach to
pricing and resource allocation in cloud computing. This work, to the authors' knowledge …

In combinatorial auctions, a large number of items are auctioned concurrently and bidders
are allowed to express preferences on bundles of items. This is preferable to selling each …

Mobile crowdsensing is a novel paradigm to collect sensing data and extract useful
information about regions of interest. It widely employs incentive mechanisms to recruit a …

We consider the problem of locating facilities in a metric space to serve a set of selfish
agents. The cost of an agent is the distance between her own location and the nearest …
