TY - RPRT T1 - The matrix auction : a mechanism for the market-based coordination of enterprise networks T3 - Kaiserslautern ; Saarbrücken : DFKI, 1999 A1 - Vierke,Gero A1 - Ruß,Christian Y1 - 2011/07/05 N2 - We argue that a network of shipping companies, that cooperatively executes transportation tasks, can be viewed as a special instance of a virtual enterprise. We propose the matrix auction as an efficient, incentive compatible allocation mechanism for virtual transportation enterprises. The implementation of the matrix auction in a multi-agent fleet scheduling system is described, and we were able to observe a significant improvement of the task allocation.
