Abstract

Harnessing the power of idle personal workstations remains a challenge for large scale distributed computing. In this paper, we present the Java Web-computing System (JaWS), which simplifies the connection of heterogeneous machines in a global computing grid as well as the development of applications that exploit this computing capacity. Machines are assigned to applications via a dynamic market-based mechanism that allows machine owners and clients to change their requirements even in the midst of a computation. The system takes care of the main communication issues offering basic programming primitives that can be extended to develop class hierarchies which in turn support distributed computing paradigms. Due to the object-oriented structuring of code, development becomes as simple as implementing a few methods.

Sequential auctions and externalities

In many settings agents participate in multiple different auctions that are not necessarily implemented simultaneously. Future opportunities affect strategic considerations of the players in each auction, introducing externalities. Motivated by this ...
Implications of a Reserve Price in an Agent-Based Common-Value Auction

Auction sellers can use a reserve price to require a minimum bid before items are sold. Theoretical and experimental research has tested the influence of a reserve price in an independent private values auction, but little focus has been given to the ...
Risk aversion and loss aversion in core-selecting auctions

Core-selecting combinatorial auctions have been introduced as an alternative to the Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanism because VCG can result in payments that are not in the core with respect to bids, leading to unfair payments, unacceptably low ...
