Abstract: | The migration of auctions to the Internet provides a unique opportunity to harness the power of computing to create new auction forms that were previously impossible. This paper describes a new type of combinatorial auction that accepts rule-based bids. Allowing bids in the form of high-level rules relieves the buyer from the burden of enumerating all possible acceptable bundles. The allocation of goods requires solving a complex combinatorial problem, a task that is completely impractical in a conventional auction setting. This study describes simplifying winner determination heuristics developed to make large problems of this nature manageable. |
