> Workshop Description
> --------------------
> 
> 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 use 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 both markets and agents, empirical studies of
> agent performance or e-commerce systems, negotiation and contracting
> strategies, game theoretic analysis, mechanism design and other related
> topics.
