ACAN 2014 - The Seventh International Workshop on Agent-based Complex Automated Negotiations

Complex Automated Negotiations have been widely studied and have become an emerging area in the field of Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. These issues are being explored by researchers from different communities in Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent systems. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from these communities to learn about each others' approaches, form long-term collaborations, and cross-fertilize the different areas to accelerate progress towards scaling up to larger and more realistic applications. ACAN has been tightly cooperating with ANAC (Automated Negotiating Agents Competition). The tutorial session will focus on the game-theoretic foundations of electronic negotiations to give a broad overview of state of the art in agent-mediated negotiation.
