March 8-13, 2002 http://www.ee.duke.edu/JCIS/ Keynote Speech: Agent-Based Computational Economics: The Computational Study of Evolving Decentralized Economies Leigh Tesfatsion Department of Economics Iowa State University Ames, IA 50011-1070, U.S.A. TBA Jasmina Arifovic Department of Economics Simon Fraser University Buranby, BC V5A 1S6, Canada Call for Papers The Second International Workshop on Computational Intelligence in Economics and Finance (CIEF'2002) will be held as a part of the Sixth Joint Conference on Information Science. Computational intelligence, usually known as a collection of techniques, including artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, evolutionary algorithms, etc., is one of the most important tools in computational economics and finance. Over the last decade, computational intelligence has been widely used in various economical and financial modelling, prediction, and analysis. The most noticeable application of computational intelligence is in financial data mining. In addition to financial data mining, computational intelligence has also been intensively used in the research area known as agent-based computational economics where global regularities arise from the bottom up, through repeated local interactions of autonomous agents. Computational intelligence provides a tool to model these autonomous agents and their interactions. Issues addressed include the replication of laboratory results with human subjects, equilibrium selection, the emergence of the representative agent, rational expectations, markets and money, simulations of artificial stock markets and other social processes. We see now a need to bring together people with different backgrounds who share the same interests in their closely related studies. This conference serves this purpose. Topics of Interest: Application Areas: Application areas may include, but are not limited to: Agent-Based Computational Economics Artificial Stock Markets Simulation of Social Processes Evolutionary Game and Industrial Organization Financial Engineering Financial Data Mining Trading Strategies Hedging Strategies Portfolio Management Derivative Pricing Term Structure Models Financial Time Series Forecasting and Analysis Techniques: Artificial Neural Networks Fuzzy Logic Evolutionary Strategies Evolutionary Programming Genetic Algorithms Genetic Programming Statistical Classifiers Cluster Analysis Decision Trees Inductive Logic Programming Self-Organized Map Reinforcement Learning Wavelet Rough Sets Support Vector Machine Hybrid Systems Paper Submission Papers describing new techniques and/or novel applications are solicited. All papers should be no more than 4 pages of 10-point font, double column, single-spaced text, with figures and tables included.
