ABSTRACT
By using personal mobile devices, participatory sensing provides an alternative to deploying dedicated mobile nodes to perform data acquisition tasks in areas where human carriers are already present. However, this application comes with some unique challenges. In this paper, we study the challenges resulting from social concerns of participants in a participatory sensing application and propose a socially aware auction mechanism to address them. Through simulations, we compare the proposed mechanism to several existing mechanisms. The results demonstrate that, with the right configuration, our proposed mechanism can decrease the cost for the data sinks and decrease the privacy loss and battery usage of participants while preserving their participation.

Mechanism for optimally trading off revenue and efficiency in multi-unit auctions
EC '04: Proceedings of the 5th ACM conference on Electronic commerceWe study auctioning multiple units of the same good to potential buyers with single unit demand (i.e. every bidder wants only one unit of the good). Depending on the objective of the seller, different selling mechanisms are desirable. The Vickrey ...
Endogenous market-clearing prices and reference point adaptation
SBP'10: Proceedings of the Third international conference on Social Computing, Behavioral Modeling, and PredictionWhen prices depend on the submitted bids, i.e. with endogenous market-clearing prices in repeated-round auction mechanisms, the assumption of independent private values that underlines the property of incentive-compatibility is to be brought into ...
A Simple Mechanism for a Budget-Constrained Buyer
Special Issue on WINE'18: Part 2We study a classic Bayesian mechanism design setting of monopoly problem for an additive buyer in the presence of budgets. In this setting, a monopolist seller with m heterogeneous items faces a single buyer and seeks to maximize her revenue. The buyer ...
