Call for Papers

IJCAI-05 Workshop on Trading Agent Design and Analysis (TADA-05)

Trading agents have become a prominent application area in Artificial Intelligence in large part because of their potential benefits in electronic commerce. A wide variety of trading scenarios and agent approaches have 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 2005 Trading Agent Competition (TAC-05), with finals held during IJCAI-05, but paper submissions need not be directly related to TAC. In fact, we encourage submissions related to other trading scenarios. For more information about TAC-05, see http://www.sics.se/tac/.
