  <description><![CDATA[Travel Agent Game in Agentcities (TAGA) is the framework that
extends and enhances the Trading Agent Competition (TAC)
scenario to work in Agentcities, an open multi agent environment
based on FIPA compliant pla tforms. TAGA uses the semantic web
languages and tools (RDF and OWL) to specify and publish the
underlying common ontologies; as a content language within the
FIPA ACL messages; as the basis for agent knowledge bases via
XSB-based reasoning tools; to describe and reason about s...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The UMBCTAC agent was one of the top ranked agents in the third international Trading Agent Com-petition (TAC'02). This paper describes and evalu-ates the key heuristics used by UMBCTAC, includ-ing the early bird heuristic, the balance heuristic, and the separation heuristic. We developed a simple gain-risk model to search safe and profitable allocations for hotel rooms and airline tickets. We also used a novel probabilistic approach to dynamically allocate entertainment tickets and bid in en...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[UMBCTAC is one of the top ranking agents in the 3rd International Trading Agent Competition (TAC). A TAC game has multiple auctions running on different but interrelated resources simultaneously, and 8 trading agents will compete with each other for optimal result – making maximum profit.  The spirit of simplicity and balance is used as a guideline to solve the dynamical optimization problem in TAC game. The hotel/airline auctions and the entertainment ticket auctions are handled separately...]]></description>
