  • BIDDER SUPPORT IN MULTI-ITEM MULTI-UNIT COMBINATORIAL AUCTIONS
    Publication number: 20230100330
    Abstract: A system for bidder support in combinatorial auctions includes a machine readable storage medium storing instructions and a processor to execute the instructions throughout a duration of an auction. The processor executes the instructions to receive bids for a multi-item multi-unit (MIMU) combinatorial auction. The processor executes the instructions to track the status of each sub-auction of the MIMU auction. The status for each sub-auction includes a value of the respective sub-auction and a last winning bid of the respective sub-auction. The processor executes the instructions to determine bidder support information including winning levels, deadness levels, winning bids, and live bids based on the status of each sub-auction.
