The Continuous Combinatorial Auction Architecture
提出一种连续组合拍卖架构，用倒计时时钟替代轮次拍卖的资格与活跃度要求，允许竞标持续组合，实验和实地应用显示数小时内即可自然达到均衡，效率高。
The paper reports the architecture of a continuous combinatorial auction. Preferences are based on sets of items and feasibility requires the nonintersection of sets. Countdown clocks replace eligibility and activity requirements typical of rounds-based auctions. Bids remain in the system to be combined with new bids to form winning collections. Increment requirements dictate improvements over appropriate collections of existing bids. The auction evolved from experimental methods and operates at high levels of efficiency. Field applications are reported and result in natural equilibration in a few hours as opposed to days or weeks required by round-based architectures.
