Algorithm design for agents which participate in multiple simultaneous auctions

Abstract. In this paper, we discuss the design of algorithms for agents to use when participating in multiple simultaneous English auctions, aiming to purchase multiple goods. Firstly, we present a coordination algorithm, which ensures the agent places appropriate bids in the different auctions to buy exactly the right number of goods. Secondly, we combine this with an algorithm to determine what maximum bid an agent should place in an auction that is about to terminate. This algorithm combines a belief-based model of the auctions with a utility analysis. This analysis is to trade off the certain outcome of the terminating auction against the possible outcomes of the remaining auctions, and hence to place appropriate bids in each.

Promising Performance of Lead-Free Functional thin films and ceramics

International audienceLead-free functional oxides can be dedicated to numerous applications. Here a part of a complete study on ST and SCT ceramics dedicated to high-Q capacitors is presented, as well as some results on W and WO3 thin films dedicated to semiconductor gas sensors
