University of California, Irvine ABSTRACT We will discuss research on several optimization problems arising from discussions with trucking industry executives. These include routing of local fleets under uncertainty, bidding in combinatorial auctions, the winner determination problem in combinatorial auctions and the closely related bid analysis problem in unit auctions in which a set of mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive lanes (origin-destination pairs, with associated demands) are placed in bundles before the auction is executed.Location: Ethel Percy Andrus Gerontology Center (GER) - 309
