Abstract

We present an initial study of a methodology for maximizing profits in a general class of e-commerce environments under a cost model in which revenues are generated when QoS guarantees are satisfied and penalties are incurred otherwise. The QoS guarantees are based on multiclass SLAs between service providers and their clients, which include the tail distributions of the per-class response times. Our approach consists of formulating the resulting optimization problem as a network flow model with a separable set of concave objective function summands based on derived queueing-theoretic formulas. This problem is then solved in a very efficient manner via a fixed-point iteration.

EC '01: Proceedings of the 3rd ACM conference on Electronic Commerce

We present a methodology for maximizing profits in a general class of e-commerce environments. The cost model is based on revenues that are generated when Quality-of-Service (QoS) guarantees are satisfied and on penalties that are incurred otherwise. ...
Revenue-Maximizing Auctions: A Bidder’s Standpoint
A vast part of the Internet economy is powered by advertising, much of which is sold at auction. A key question for sellers is how to optimize the auction mechanism they use. Bidders, conversely, try to optimize their bidding strategy. Incentive ...
We address the problem of improving bidders’ strategies in prior-dependent revenue-maximizing auctions and introduce a simple and generic method to design novel bidding strategies whenever the seller uses past bids to optimize her mechanism. We propose a ...
Class-Based Service Connectivity Using Multi-level Bandwidth Adaptation in Multimedia Wireless Networks

Due to the fact that quality of service requirements are not very strict for all traffic types, more calls of higher priority can be accommodated by reducing some bandwidth allocation for the bandwidth adaptive calls. The bandwidth adaptation to accept ...
