A Multi-Attribute Auction Mechanism based on Conditional Constraints and Conditional Qualitative Preferences

Auctioning multi-dimensional items is a key challenge, which requires rigorous tools. This study proposes a multi-round, first-score, semi-sealed multi-attribute reverse auction system. A fundamental concern in multiattribute auctions is acquiring a useful description of the buyers’ indivi...
