Trading Agent Design and Analysis (TADA) information


Accepted papers added!!!


Scope

 The study and design of trading agents are prominent application areas in artificial intelligence, since they challenge models of rational decision-making, and have interesting potential benefits for electronic commerce. To date, a broad range of trading scenarios and agent approaches have been studied, creating an extensive and rich research area. The workshop focuses on the design and evaluation of trading agents. Papers on trading agent architectures, decision making algorithms, theoretical analysis, empirical evaluations of agent strategies in negotiation scenarios, game-theoretic analyses, trading mechanisms and market architectures are all within the scope of the workshop.

This workshop will be held in conjunction with the 2011 Trading Agent Competition (TAC-2011), with finals held during IJCAI 2011.For further details, see the call for papers.

Topics of interest:

We encourage submissions on, but not limited to:

  • Distributed (scalable) algorithmic mechanism design
  • Mechanisms for unreliable, dynamic and asynchronous environments
  • Mechanisms for incomplete and/or imperfect information environments
  • Mechanisms for information goods and services
  • Mechanisms for security, privacy, accounting, verification and auditing
  • Distributed (agent and mechanism) learning models
  • Agent strategies in multi-institutional environments
  • Economic and game theoretic specification, design and analysis
  • Bargaining, voting and auction mechanisms
  • Distributed reputation and trust mechanisms
  • Agents that support bidding and negotiation
  • Empirical evaluation of human-agent trading
  • Simulation and evaluation of properties of novel and complex mechanisms
  • Implemented agent-mediated e-comerce systems
