Agent-mediated electronic commerce : automated negotiation and strategy design for electronic markets : AAMAS 2006 workshop, TADA/AMEC 2006, Hakodate, Japan, May 9, 2006 : selected and revised papers
The design and an alysis of trading agents and electronic trading systems in which they are deployed involve finding solutions to a diverse set of problems, invo- ing individual behaviors, interaction, and collective behavior in the context of trade. A wide variety of trading scenarios and systems, and agent approaches to these, have been studied in recent years. The AMEC series of wo- shops presents interdisciplinary researchon both theoretical and practical issues of agent-mediated electronic commerce ranging from the design of electronic marketplaces and e?cient protocols to behavioral aspects of agents operating in suchenvironments.
Agent-mediated electronic commerce : Designing trading agents and mechanisms ; AAMAS 2005 Workshop, AMEC 2005, Utrecht, Netherlands, July 25, 2005, and IJCAI 2005 Workshop, TADA 2005, Edinburgh, UK, August 1, 2005, Selected and Revised Papers

Advances in Learning Classifier Systems ; 4th International Workshop, IWLCS 2001, San Francisco, CA, USA, July 7-8, 2001. Revised Papers
The Fourth International Workshop on Learning Classifier Systems (IWLCS2001) was held July 7-8, 2001, in San Francisco, California, during the Geneticand Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO 2001). We have includedin this volume revised and extended versions of eleven of the papers presentedat the workshop.The volume is organized into two main parts. The first is dedicated to importanttheoretical issues of learning classifier systems research including the influenceof exploration strategy, a model of self-adaptive classifier systems, and the useof classifier systems for social simulation. The second part contains papers dis-cussing applications of learning classifier systems such as data mining, stocktrading, and power distribution networks.An appendix contains a paper presenting a formal description of ACS, a rapidlyemerging learning classifier system model.
Across the Sahara : Tracks, trade and cross-cultural exchange in Libya
Provides a multi-perspective approach to the caravan trade in the Sahara during the 19th century. Based on travelogues from European travelers, recently found Arab sources, historical maps and results from several expeditions, the book gives an overview of the historical periods of the caravan trade as well as detailed information about the infrastructure which was necessary to establish those trade networks.
A Trading Desk View of Market Quality
"Market quality" is a complex, ambiguous term that means different things to different people. How should it be defined, measured, monitored, and improved? What is the evidence about the current state of our markets? How effective have recent innovations been? How can we better meet investor needs? These are some of the questions that we address in this book, along with a broad range of issues concerning equity market structure, regulation, and the quest for best execution. Throughout, particular attention is given to the perspective of front line participants on the buy-side and sell-side trading desks.
50 Years of EU Economic Dynamics : Integration, Financial Markets and Innovations
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the European Union experts present their analyses of historical developments and new economic challenges for the EU. After a reflection on historical dynamics, the contributors point out the dramatic economic shifts between Europe, Asia and the US. Representatives from major central banks (including the ECB), other leading banks, and academia analyze the dynamics of the Eurozone and financial market integration in the context of globalization and economic growth. Furthermore, the authors discuss the challenges of information and communication technologies by means of various country analyses. Moreover, the Schumpeterian prospects for Europe and the Lisbon Agenda, the long-term challenges of EU pension reforms, emission trading systems in the EU, and options for a new EU constitution are highlighted. At the bottom line of this EU analysis are major implications for investors, managers, policy-makers and the public at large in both the EU and the global economy.
