http://www.cs.utep.edu/kiekintveld/Workshops/TADAA... (web site available after the holidays)
The design and analysis of electronic commerce systems and automated trading agents is a prominent area of research in artificial intelligent and multi-agent systems. Research in this area includes methods for designing both agents and market institutions, and makes of of a wide variety of AI techniques including planning, decision theory, game theory, machine learning, and optimization. The scope of the workshop includes descriptions of agent architectures, decision-making algorithms, theoretical analysis of market institutions and agents, empirical studies of agent performance or e-commerce systems, negotiation and contracting strategies, game theoretic analysis, mechanism design and other related topics.
