OPTIMIZED GROUP BUYING SCHEMES

Abstract:

In an approach for generating and recommending optimized shopping orders for a group of users that collectively purchase bundles of goods, a processor generates an initial shopping order for each user in a group of shopping users, based on one or more preferences and constraints of each user on one or more items to buy from a stock. A processor optimizes the initial shopping order for each user based on one or more objectives of each user. A processor outputs the optimized shopping order for each user.
