Coordinated Aggressive Bidding in Distributed [pdf]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Large NP-hard combinatorial resource allocation problems are best solved via approximation techniques which produce acceptable solutions in the time available. The best of such "good-enough/soon-enough" techniques handle large problems, run in distributed environments, adapt rapidly to changes to the problem while solving, and exhibit good anytime performance.
