N2 - We present nine papers on e-auctions for procurement operations. The first of the issue's three sections is a foreword highlighting current trends and future research directions. The second section is composed of three commissioned survey papers, covering auctions within e-sourcing events, electronic markets for truckload transportation, and games and mechanism design in machine scheduling. The final section consists of five research papers on the following topics: whether auction parameters affect buyer surplus in e-auctions for procurement, collusion in second-price auctions under minimax regret, the effect of timing on jump bidding in ascending auctions, market-based allocation with indivisible bids, and ranked items auctions and online advertisement.
