This project will investigate bidding strategies using agents which can buy goods and services from multiple auctions while satisfying user preferences and budgetary constraints. Of particular interest is the study and development of bundle bidding strategies, which will allow agents to put together preferred bundles of goods for users from online auctions selling only individual items. Automated bundle bidding procedures with well-understood performance expectations will allow users to form bundles with significantly less effort and much more success. The bundle bidding problem presents challenging and interesting research problems that involve asynchronous events, uncertainty about future auctions, and the widely varying valuations and bidding strategies of users and their proxies. Several variations of the bundle-bidding problem will be identified and studied. The project will also investigate the usage of auctions in conjunction with other forms of information processing within a broader context of coordination between self-interested autonomous agents representing individuals, organizations and supply chains.

这个项目将研究使用代理的投标策略，可以从多个拍卖中购买商品和服务，同时满足用户的偏好和预算限制。特别感兴趣的是捆绑竞标策略的研究和开发，这将允许代理商从仅出售单个物品的在线拍卖中为用户整理首选的商品捆绑。自动化的捆绑投标程序与良好的理解性能预期将允许用户形成捆绑与显着更少的努力和更大的成功。捆绑招标问题提出了具有挑战性和有趣的研究问题，涉及异步事件，未来拍卖的不确定性，以及用户和他们的代理的广泛变化的估值和投标策略。将确定和研究几种不同的竞争投标问题。该项目还将调查在代表个人、组织和供应链的自利自治代理之间的更广泛协调背景下，拍卖与其他形式的信息处理结合使用的情况。
