📝Publication Top Notes

📝 1. A Two-Way Dynamic Adaptive Pricing Resource Allocation Model Based on Combinatorial Double Auctions in Computational Network

  • Journal: Computer Communications

  • Publication Date: April 2025

  • Type: Journal Article

  • DOI: 10.1016/j.comcom.2025.108170

  • Contributors: Yanjun Xu, Chunqi Tian, Wei Wang, Lizhi Bai, Xuhui Xia
