Differentially private multi-agent constraint optimization

Boi Faltings, Aleksei Triastcyn, Sujit Prakash Gujar, Sankarshan Damle

Distributed constraint optimization (DCOP) is a framework in which multiple agents with private constraints (or preferences) cooperate to achieve a common goal optimally. DCOPs are applicable in several multi-agent coordination/allocation problems, such as ...

A Truthful, Privacy-Preserving, Approximately Efficient Combinatorial Auction For Single-minded Bidders

Boi Faltings, Sujit Prakash Gujar, Sankarshan Damle

Combinatorial auctions are widely used to sell resources/items. The challenges in such auctions are multi-fold. We need to ensure that bidders, the strategic agents, bid their valuations truthfully to the auction mechanism. Besides, the agents may desire p ...

Online Auctions for Dynamic Assignment: Theory and Empirical Evaluation

Boi Faltings, Sujit Prakash Gujar

Dynamic resource assignment is a common problem in multi-agent systems. We consider scenarios in which dynamic agents have preferences about assignments and the resources that can be assigned using online auctions. We study the trade-off between the follow ...
