摘要：This paper considers one-sided scheduling problems, where a schedule
of service is arranged at one location, without regard to other schedules.
Typically, such scheduling problems are handled on a first-come-firstserve
basis, which is grossly inefficient. The present paper proposes
a scheduling mechanism that is a non-standard auction, in which the
allocation is ruled by evaluating combinations of bids. The proposed
mechanism implements the efficient allocation in dominant strategies
and is deficit-free. Since that mechanism is suitable for the scheduling
problems at sea-ports, loading or unloading at sea-ports is used as an
illustration.
