Fall
05 Reading Group
on Algorithmic Mechanism Design
Announcements:
Basic Plan:
Algorithmic mechanism design originated in economics and in
recent years has become an active area in computer science with
lots of interesting open problems. Try it!
As what we did in the summer, we are going to read some recent papers
to broaden our knowledge in
algorithmic mechanism design and look for interesting new problems to
work
on together.
See below for the background information and the list of papers we
covered in summer. Suggestions about other interesting papers are
welcome.
