Sustainable Heating with Karma: A Simulation Study of the KTH Live-In Lab
Mahsa Farjadnia, Ezzat Elokda, Angela Fontan +1
Space heating in buildings accounts for 10% of the global CO2 footprint. The widespread adoption of energy-efficient heating technology, e.g., heat pumps, could help reduce this fi…
Flexible Electric Vehicle Charging with Karma
Ezzat Elokda, Ruiting Wang, Karl H. Johansson +1
Motivated by the need to develop fair and efficient schemes to facilitate the electrification of transport, this paper proposes a non-monetary karma economy for flexible Electric V…
A Vision for Trustworthy, Fair, and Efficient Socio-Technical Control using Karma Economies
Ezzat Elokda, Andrea Censi, Emilio Frazzoli +2
Control systems will play a pivotal role in addressing societal-scale challenges as they drive the development of sustainable future smart cities. At the heart of these challenges…
Welfare and Cost Aggregation for Multi-Agent Control: When to Choose Which Social Cost Function, and Why?
Ilia Shilov, Ezzat Elokda, Sophie Hall +2
Many multi-agent socio-technical systems rely on aggregating heterogeneous agents' costs into a social cost function (SCF) to coordinate resource allocation in domains like energy…
To Travel Quickly or to Park Conveniently: Coupled Resource Allocations with Multi-Karma Economies
Ezzat Elokda, Andrea Censi, Saverio Bolognani +2
The large-scale allocation of public resources (e.g., transportation, energy) is among the core challenges of future Cyber-Physical-Human Systems (CPHS). In order to guarantee that…
Dynamic Resource Allocation with Karma: An Experimental Study
Ezzat Elokda, Saverio Bolognani, Florian Dörfler +1
We perform a behavioral experiment of karma, a class of mechanisms for repeated resource allocation with attractive fairness and efficiency properties, in theory. Individuals in th…
To Spend or to Gain: Online Learning in Repeated Karma Auctions
Damien Berriaud, Ezzat Elokda, Devansh Jalota +3
Recent years have seen a surge of artificial currency-based mechanisms in contexts where monetary instruments are deemed unfair or inappropriate, e.g., in allocating food donations…
A Classification of Feedback Loops and Their Relation to Biases in Automated Decision-Making Systems
Nicolò Pagan, Joachim Baumann, Ezzat Elokda +3
Prediction-based decision-making systems are becoming increasingly prevalent in various domains. Previous studies have demonstrated that such systems are vulnerable to runaway feed…
CARMA: Fair and efficient bottleneck congestion management via non-tradable karma credits
Ezzat Elokda, Carlo Cenedese, Kenan Zhang +4
This paper proposes a non-monetary traffic demand management scheme, named CARMA, as a fair solution to the morning commute congestion. We consider heterogeneous commuters travelin…
A self-contained karma economy for the dynamic allocation of common resources
Ezzat Elokda, Saverio Bolognani, Andrea Censi +2
This paper presents karma mechanisms, a novel approach to the repeated allocation of a scarce resource among competing agents over an infinite time. Examples include deciding which…
A Dynamic Population Model of Strategic Interaction and Migration under Epidemic Risk
Ezzat Elokda, Saverio Bolognani, Ashish R. Hota
In this paper, we show how a dynamic population game can model the strategic interaction and migration decisions made by a large population of agents in response to epidemic preval…
Dynamic Population Games: A Tractable Intersection of Mean-Field Games and Population Games
Ezzat Elokda, Saverio Bolognani, Andrea Censi +2
In many real-world large-scale decision problems, self-interested agents have individual dynamics and optimize their own long-term payoffs. Important examples include the competiti…
