| 总结: | Sharing scarce resources is a key challenge in multi-agent
interaction, especially when individual agents are uncertain about their future consumption. We present a new auction mechanism for preallocating multi-unit resources among
agents, while limiting the chance of resource violations. By
planning for a chance constraint, we strike a balance between worst-case approaches, which under-utilise resources,
and expected-case approaches, which lack formal guarantees.
We also present an algorithm that allows agents to generate
bids via multi-objective reasoning, which are then submitted
to the auction. We then discuss how the auction can be extended to non-cooperative scenarios. Finally, we demonstrate
empirically that our auction outperforms state-of-the-art techniques for chance-constrained multi-agent resource allocation in complex settings with up to hundreds of agents.
