As use of automated agent trading, online auctions and other forms of age- mediated electronic commerce is gaining prominence in everyday economic - tivities, interest in further advancing these technologies is also continuing to grow. The present volume presents a snapshot of research on Designing Trading Agents and Mechanisms for Agent-Mediated Electronic Commerce. The book has been built around a collection of articles initially presented at two highly respected international workshops held in the summer of 2005: - The2005workshoponAgent-MediatedElectronicCommerceVII:Designing Mechanisms and Systems (AMEC VII, 2005) collocated with the AAMAS 2005conferenceheldin Utrecht,TheNetherlands,inJuly2005. AMEC2005 was the seventh in a series of international workshops on research at the intersection between computer science, operations research, arti?cial intel- gence, distributed systems, and economics, including game theory. Research presentedatthisworkshophastraditionallyaddressedamixofboththeor- icalandpracticalissues,lookingatbehavioralandorganizationaldimensions of agent-mediatedelectroniccommerceas well as at complex computational, information and system-level challenges. An extended version of an article originally presented at AMEC2004 has also been included. - The 2005 workshop on Trading Agent Design and Analysis (TADA 2005), collocated one week later with the International Joint Conference on Ar- ?cial Intelligence (IJCAI 2005) in Edinburgh, Scotland. The TADA wo- shop was the third of its kind and focused more speci?cally on trading agent technologiesand mechanismdesign. This includes discussionsof agentarc- tectures and decision-making algorithms along with theoreticalanalyses and empirical evaluations of agent strategies in di?erent trading contexts. The workshop also serves as the primary discussion forum for the Trading Agent Competition (TAC) researchcommunity.
