In case of a multi-attribute scenario this is not as trivial. In this case a utility function must map each property of an offered item to a virtual currency or score and combine the virtual currency or score results of each attribute to an overall value. This overall value is called the overall utility of an item for a requester. Finally this overall utility decides which item wins.

(1999) focus on this issue as follows: ”An auction is an economic mechanism for determining the price of an item. ” (see Bichler et al. 1999, p. 155).
