Project: Auctions for Autonomous Agents
Supervisor(s): Tim French
Project status: expects to complete end of semester 2, 2009


Many methods in Computer Science revolve around being able to increase the productivity of a single user. Through automatia, we are able to more effectivly use the time resources availble to us. A typical event which is time consuming for the user is that of an auction. The use of automated agents in such an environment is of considerable use to us. However, there are problems with the use of these agents. The first is that they must perform in some method that is considered optimal for the owner of the agent. Optimal can be loosely defined as equally competent as the user in question. In addition, they must be reliable and unable to behave in an irrational manner. At odds with this requirement is the fact that they must be unable to be manipulated to the users detriment.
