Accepted technical papers will be presented from June 19 through June 21; tutorials and workshops will be held on June 18 and June 22. Accepted papers will be available in the form in which they are published in the ACM Digital Library prior to the conference.<br><br>AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.<br>The focus of the conference is research at the interface of economics and computation related to (but not limited to) the following three non-exclusive focus areas:<br><br><b>Theory and Foundations<br>Artificial Intelligence and Applied Game Theory<br>Experimental, Empirical, and Applications</b><br><br>Authors can designate a paper for one or two of these focus areas. The program committee includes Senior Program Committee (SPC) and Program Committee (PC) members that are experts in all three focus areas, to ensure appropriate review of papers.<br>EC publishes relevant papers on topics and methodologies that include:<br><br>MECHANISM DESIGN, including: algorithmic mechanism design, auctions, revenue maximization, pricing, resource allocation, matching, computational social choice<br><br>ECONOMIC AND STRATEGIC EQUILIBRIUM, including: equilibrium computation, price of anarchy, markets<br><br>INFORMATION ELICITATION AND GENERATION, including: incentive compatibility, prediction markets, recommender, reputation and trust systems, privacy<br><br>BEHAVIORAL MODELS, including: preference and decision theory, experiments, consumer search, econometrics<br><br>ONLINE BEHAVIOR AND SYSTEMS, including: machine learning, automated agents, trading agents, data mining, experience with e-commerce and systems, economics of the Cloud, social networks, crowdsourcing<br><br><b>PAPER SUBMISSION</b><br>Submissions should be made at <a href="http://www.sigecom.org/ec18/papers.html" target="_blank">http://www.sigecom.org/ec18/<wbr>papers.html</a><br><br>The conference is soliciting full papers (as well as workshop and tutorial proposals; see below) on all aspects of research mentioned above. Submitted papers should clearly establish the research contribution, its relevance, and its relation to prior research. All submissions must be made in the appropriate format, and within a specified length limit; details and a LaTeX template can be found at the submission site. Additional pages beyond the length limit may be included as appendices, but will only be read at the discretion of the reviewers.<br><br>IMPORTANT NOTICE: To accommodate the publishing traditions of different fields, authors of accepted papers can ask that only a one-page abstract of the paper appear in the proceedings, along with a URL pointing to the full paper. Authors should guarantee the link to be reliable for at least two years. This option is available to accommodate subsequent publication in journals that would not consider results that have been published in preliminary form in a conference proceedings. Such papers must be submitted electronically and formatted just like papers submitted for full-text publication.<br>Simultaneous submission of results to another conference with published proceedings is not allowed. Results previously published or presented at another primarily archival conference prior to EC, or published (or accepted for publication) at a journal prior to the submission deadline to EC, cannot be submitted. Simultaneous submission of results to a journal is allowed only if the author intends to publish the paper as a one-page abstract in EC'18. Papers that are accepted and appear as a one-page abstract can be subsequently submitted for publication in a journal but may not be submitted to any other conference that has a published proceedings.<br><br>A separate call for posters will be announced later.<br><br><b>WORKSHOP AND TUTORIAL PROPOSALS</b><br>The conference is soliciting proposals for tutorials and workshops. Tutorial proposals should contain the title of the tutorial, a two-page description of the topic matter, the names and short biographies of the tutor(s), and dates/venues where earlier versions of the tutorial were given (if any). Workshop proposals should contain the title of the workshop, the names and short biographies of the organizers, and the names of confirmed or candidate participants. Workshop proposals should also include a two-page description describing the theme, the reviewing process for participants, the organization of the workshop, required facilities for the workshop, and a desired length (half day, full day, etc.). We especially encourage submissions that bring together participants with diverse backgrounds and experience. For accepted workshops, the desired length will be honored as closely as possible. Submission information will be available soon on the conference website.<br><br>******************************<wbr>****************<br><b>KEY DATES</b><br><b><br>February 15, 2018, 11:59 PM PST</b>: Full electronic paper submissions due.
