| Abstract: | This paper studies pricing and incentive issues in the assignment of customers to servers in a system that suffers congestion effects. When customers have private information about their waiting costs, a system administrator who wishes to maximize steady-sate net benefits per unit of time may do so using a pricing and routing scheme that is incentive compatible; that is no customer has any incentive to reveal his private information untruthfully, states the author of the article. |
