This paper presents a formulation and an algorithm for the winner determination problem in auction-based scheduling. Without imposing a time line discretization, the proposed approach allows bidders to bid for the processing of a set of jobs under scheduling constraints using a requirement-based bidding language. The proposed winner determination algorithm uses a depth first branch and bound search. The search branches on bids and a constraint directed scheduling procedure is used at each node to verify the feasibility of the temporary schedule. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated through experiments versus a set of auction-based scheduling winner determination problems generated based on a suite of job shop constraint sa...
