Data are invaluable. How can we assess the value of data objectively, systematically and
quantitatively? Pricing data, or information goods in general, has been studied and practiced …

Multiagent systems combine multiple autonomous entities, each having diverging interests
or different information. This overview of the field offers a computer science perspective, but …

This text provides a look at select topics in economic mechanism design through the lens of
approximation. It reviews the classical economic theory of mechanism design wherein a …

Mobile health (mHealth) applications, benefiting from mobile computing, have emerged
rapidly in recent years, and generated a large volume of mHealth data. However, these …

The competitive auction was first proposed by Goldberg, Hartline, and Wright. In their paper
[Goldberg et al, 2001], they introduce the competitive analysis framework of online algorithm …

We consider profit maximizing (incentive compatible) mechanism design in general
environments that include, eg, position auctions (for selling advertisements on Internet …

Mobile health (mHealth) applications, benefiting from mobile computing, have generated
numerous mHealth data. However, they are dispersed across isolated devices, which …

We study the design of truthful auctions for selling identical items in unlimited supply (eg,
digital goods) to n unit demand buyers. This classic problem stands out from profit …

We consider the provision of an abstract service to single-dimensional agents. Our model
includes position auctions, single-minded combinatorial auctions, and constrained matching …

We design and analyze deterministic and randomized clock auctions for single-parameter
domains with downward-closed feasibility constraints, aiming to maximize the social welfare …
