3 - Problem Geometry and Problem Robustness<br />

Jorge Vera, Associate Professor, Universidad Católica de Chile,<br />

Casilla 306 Correo 22, Santiago, Chile, jvera@ing.puc.cl<br />

We could say an optimization problem is “robust” if its solution is not very sensible<br />

to changes in the data. This is important when models are used to support decision<br />

making. In this talk we explore the explanatory power of geometric measures of the<br />

feasible region on problem sensitivity and robustness. We do this in connection with<br />

the computation of robust solutions, showing theoretical estimates and some<br />

computational results in simulated as well as real Supply Chain Management<br />

problems.<br />

1 - Empirical Analysis of a Procurement Combinatorial Auction<br />

In this paper we conduct an empirical investigation of a unique data set of bids in a<br />

large-scale combinatorial auction (CA): the Chilean auction for school meals in<br />

which the government procures half a billion dollars worth of meal services every<br />

year. We develop an estimation strategy to identify features of the firms’ cost<br />

structure and their strategic behavior, and use this information to suggest<br />

improvements to the auction design.<br />

2 - Externalities in Ad Auctions<br />

Nicole Immorlica, Northwestern University, 2133 Sheridan Road,<br />

Evanston, IL, 60208, United States of America, nicimm@gmail.com<br />

We use impression and click data from Microsoft Live to demonstrate that<br />

sponsored search auctions demonstrate externalities (i.e., the value of a slot in a<br />

sponsored search list depends on who else is shown in the other sponsored<br />

positions). We then study theoretically the complete information Nash equilibria of<br />

the auction.<br />

3 - Online Resource Allocation Problems<br />

Patrick Jaillet, Massachusetts Institute of Technology,<br />

United States of America, jaillet@MIT.EDU, Xin Lu<br />

Concentrating on a series of specific applications where dynamic resource<br />

allocations arise naturally, such as in sponsored search auctions and other online<br />

auctions, we formulate some online general assignment problems that capture many<br />

aspects of these applications. We then consider the design and analysis of optimal<br />

online algorithms for these problems, built from either greedy principles or from<br />

general primal dual principles.<br />

4 - A Survey of Spectrum Auction Designs<br />

Karla Hoffman, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA,<br />

United States of America, khoffman@gmu.edu<br />

Most developed countries allocate radio spectrum by auction. The Simultaneous<br />

Ascending Auction (SAA) has proven to work well for this application. Recently,<br />

new designs that allow package bidding have been proposed. These designs have<br />

only been tried in the past few years. We first provide some historical background<br />

regarding spectrum allocation, describe the use of the SAA design and its<br />

modifications over the past 15 years, and then highlight the new advances in<br />

combinatorial auction designs and their use for the allocation of spectrum.<br />

the analysis of a complex physiological process: the alveolar collapse and<br />

recruitment in diseased lungs. Recruitment maneuvers are those that seek to reexpand<br />

the areas collapsed of the lung to minimize lung damage induced by the<br />

ventilator. A knowledge discovery task is performed within the experimental data to<br />

determine the level of critical parameters to perform the recruitment maneuvers<br />

successfully.<br />

2 - Representation of Spatio-temporal Knowledge Domains<br />

using Ontologies<br />

Cecilia Delgado, University of Granada, c/. Daniel Saucedo Aranda,<br />

s/n, Granada, Spain, cdelgado@ugr.es, Alberto Salguero,<br />

Buenaventura Clares<br />

This work is an extension of Ontology Web Language, called STOWL (Spatio-<br />

Temporal OWL), where new primitives are included. Theses primitives enable us to<br />

overcome the limitations of OWL to define elements such as n-ary relationships and<br />

functions, partitions, exhaustive decompositions, and rules.<br />

3 - The Use Parametric Quadratic Programming Approach on Fuzzy<br />

Regression Analysis<br />

Carlos Cruz, María Teresa Lamata<br />

Regression analysis find out a relationship between variables, i.e, to describe how a<br />

dependent variable is related with independent variables. In this work we consider<br />

regression analysis with imprecise parameters which are natural in real-life situation<br />

requiring solutions, it makes perfect sense to attempt to address them using fuzzy<br />

regression. It can be formulated as a fuzzy optimization problem and we apply a<br />

novel parametric quadratic programming approach in the transformed problem.<br />

Sebastián Gesualdo, Universidad CAECE, Olavarría y Gascón, Mar<br />

Gustavo Meschino<br />

The objective of this work is to present a software design useful to real data analysis<br />

by means of Computational Intelligence tools. The current development stage focus<br />

on a visual tool to deal with fuzzy predicates analysis. The main user requirement is<br />

to allow user entering simples and composed fuzzy linguistic predicates. The further<br />

ones are made connecting simples predicates with logical connectors: and, or, not,<br />

implication. Different fuzzy t-norms and t-conorms can be selected.<br />

Cultural Algorithms with Artificial Immune System are presented for the load<br />

dispatch problem with non-smooth fuel cost function taking into account valvepoint<br />

loading effects. Self adaptation, local search based on a quasi-simplex<br />

technique and chaotic sequences are used. The results confirm the potential to solve<br />

real parameter optimization problems.<br />

Richard Gonçalves, Elizabeth Goldbarg, Marco Goldbarg,<br />

Myriam Delgado<br />

A Transgenetic Algorithm (TA) named 2TA is proposed for the biobjective traveling<br />

purchaser problem. One transposon for each objective and a plasmid associated with<br />

the costs of products are developed. The 2TA is compared to a scalarized version of a<br />

TA presented previously. The results encourage further research in 2TA.
