Abstract: We introduce a multi-attribute auction-based mechanism with an endogenous scoring rule as a mean to innovate procurement design related to outsourcing of facility management (FM) activities in private and public sectors. The mechanism allows the procurer to request bids on several measurable technical and economic attributes of the supply of FM services, detailed in the procurement contract. The procurer also assigns weights to such features to signal their relevance to the sellers, while the score obtained with respect to any attribute is endogenously determined on the basis of the submitted offers. The proposed mechanism allows the procurer to mitigate the most relevant drawbacks due to the lack of skills and crucial information on the outsourced non-core activities. In fact, on one hand, it can extract from suppliers valuable private technical knowledge as well as information on the supply cost, and, on the other hand, it save the procurer from supporting the effort to specify ex an

Abstract: One of the requirements of MAUC has been to ensure smooth transition from one relay to another during mobility of a node. This “smoothness” must be unnoticed by a user and hence the term “seamless mobility”. Lots of research and development are being carried out to achieve this concept [5-17]. To achieve seamless mobility, neighbouring relays to the closest relay that a node is connected to, must be notified proactively and minimal amount of resources be reserved to initiate communication through it as and when a node comes close to it. Reserving maximum resources at each neighbouring relay can be considerably costly. It is hence desirable to have a probabilistic approach for knowing which relays (usually least number) need to be proactively enabled, the need for activating neighbouring relay, the need by a CBR for 1 relay, 2 relays, 3 relays, etc.., the minimum and maximum relays used in particular relay densities and their probability of occurrences. This paper is a follow-up of 4 pr
