CALL FOR PAPERS
July 13, 2009, Pasadena, California, USASubmission deadline: March 6, 2009
Trading agents have become a prominent application area in Artificial
Intelligence because of their potential benefits in electronic
commerce, and because they present a stiff challenge to models of
rational decision-making. A wide variety of trading scenarios and
agent approaches has been studied, creating a broad and rich research
area. This workshop will focus 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, and game-theoretic analyses, are
all within the scope of the workshop.
This workshop will be held in conjunction with the 2009 Trading Agent Competition
(TAC-09), with finals held during IJCAI-09, but paper submissions
need not be directly related to TAC. In fact, we encourage submissions
related to other trading scenarios.
