Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Empirical results show these schemes achieve a high degree of stability in practice and can be made more stable by sacrificing small amounts (< 2%) of social welfare.

Pseudocode No The paper describes procedures in prose but does not include any formal pseudocode or algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any statement about releasing source code or a link to a code repository for its methodology.
Open Datasets Yes We use a model of the US residential energy market. Building characteristics are based on the 2011 Buildings Energy Data Book [D&R International, Ltd., 2012].
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions running '50 trials for each experiment' and using '50 consumers, 2 producers, 4 profiles per consumer, 24 time periods', but it does not specify explicit training, validation, or test dataset splits.
Hardware Specification Yes We are able to solve instances with 5000 consumers, 2 producers, 4 profiles and 24 time periods in less than 15 minutes on a 12x2.6GHz, 32GB machine using CPLEX 12.51.
Software Dependencies Yes We are able to solve instances with 5000 consumers, 2 producers, 4 profiles and 24 time periods in less than 15 minutes on a 12x2.6GHz, 32GB machine using CPLEX 12.51.
Experiment Setup Yes In all experiments, we use 50 consumers, 2 producers, 4 profiles per consumer, 24 time periods, and run 50 trials for each experiment. We sample 30 random join orders, a number which was determined empirically to induce convergence.
