at Cornell in Ithaca, NY, USA. Accepted technical papers will be
presented from June 19 through June 21; tutorials will be
held on June 18 and workshops on June 22. Accepted papers will be available in the

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/pa<wbr>pers.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>NEW: EC'18 will make use of double-blind reviewing. This means that you
must take measures to ensure that your identity is not easily revealed
from the submission itself. Please include the submission number (as
assigned by Easychair) in the author field of your submission, and refer
to your prior work in a neutral manner (i.e., instead of saying "We
showed" say "XYZ et al. showed"). Furthermore, if you provide a link to
data or other supplementary materials please host it in such a way that
your identity is not apparent from the link. It is acceptable to submit
work that has been presented in public or has appeared on ArXiV,
provided the submission itself is anonymized. PC members will be allowed
to declare a conflict of interest to the authors as well as to specific
papers. You would still need to enter the author information on
Easychair when submitting the paper; this information will be accessible
to the conference chairs, but not to the program committee members. <br><br>
Submissions co-authored by PC and SPC members are allowed, but will be held to a higher standard than other submissions. <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><br>Simultaneous submissions of results to another conference with published
proceedings is not allowed. Results previously published or presented
at another archival conference prior to EC, or published (or submitted
for publication) at a journal prior to the submission deadline to EC,
will not be considered. Papers that are accepted as a one-page abstract may not be
submitted to any other conference that has published proceedings. <br><br>A separate call for posters will be announced later.<br><br><b>WORKSHOP AND TUTORIAL PROPOSALS</b><br><b><br>Tutorials: </b>
<br><br>Tutorials provide an opportunity to educate the community about emerging
topics of interest, or about topics from related fields that merit
additional attention from the EC community. Think of a tutorial as an
opportunity to invite colleagues and young researchers to get excited
about a well-defined topic, to prepare them to dive into the literature,
and to guide them to the most exciting developments and open problems.
Typically, tutorials run anywhere between two hours and a full day, and
consist of a series of presentations by experts in the field. <br><br>
Tutorial proposals should contain:
<li> the title of the tutorial </li>
<li> the names, contact information, and short biographies of the organizers </li>
<li> a description of the tutorial theme </li>
<li> the organization/format of the tutorial </li>
<li> any related tutorials that have been run </li>
<li> required facilities for the tutorial </li>
<li> the desired tutorial length (half day, full day, etc.) </li>
<p> Tutorial proposals should be emailed to <a href="mailto:ec18-tutorials-chair@acm.org" target="_blank">ec18-tutorials-chair@acm.org</a>.</p>
<p> <b> Workshops: </b> </p>
Workshops provide an opportunity to bring together researchers to
discuss emerging areas of research in an informal forum. Workshop
schedules should be designed to promote discussion and debate. A
workshop may include invited talks, contributed talks, panel
discussions, open problem sessions, presentations of work in progress,
or any other activities that stimulate new ideas for research. It is up
to the workshop organizers to determine the format and technical content
of each workshop and to solicit contributions, but we encourage
workshops that devote some time to contributed content. <br><br>
Workshop proposals should contain:
<li> the title of the workshop </li>
<li> the names, contact information, and short biographies of the organizers </li>
<li> the names of confirmed or candidate participants </li>
<li> a description of the workshop theme </li>
<li> the reviewing process for participants </li>
<li> the organization/format of the workshop </li>
<li> any previous versions of the workshop </li>
<li> required facilities for the workshop </li>
<li> the desired workshop length (half day, full day, etc.) </li>
<p> Note that most EC workshops are full days, but for accepted
workshops, the desired length will be honored as closely as possible. </p>
<p> We especially encourage submissions that bring together participants with diverse backgrounds and experience. </p>
