There is often the need to update an installed intrusion detection system (IDS) due to new
attack methods or upgraded computing environments. Since many current IDSs are …

This book offers a self-sufficient treatment of a key tool, game theory and mechanism design,
to model, analyze, and solve centralized as well as decentralized design problems involving …

Mechanism design, an important tool in microeconomics, has found widespread
applications in modelling and solving decentralized design problems in many branches of …

The central problem in computational mechanism design is the tension between incentive
compatibility and computational efficiency. We establish the first significant approximability …

Mechanism design, an important tool in microeconomics, has found widespread
applications in modelling and solving decentralized design problems in many branches of …

We consider dominant strategy implementation in private values settings, when agents have
multi-dimensional types, the set of alternatives is finite, monetary transfers are allowed, and …

In emerging service-oriented systems, such as computational clouds or grids, software
agents are able to automatically procure distributed services to complete computational …

We study the integration of game theoretic and computational considerations. In particular,
we study the design of computationally efficient and incentive compatible mechanisms, for …

We study mechanism design in quasi-linear private values environments when there are two
alternatives. We show that under a mild range condition, every implementable allocation …

In a setting where agents have quasi-linear utilities over social alternatives and a
transferable commodity, we consider three properties that a social choice function may …
