3840 Janko/Otruba/Mitloehner: Artificial Financial Life
SE 2, Tuesday 17.00-19.00, S. 2.19 (A), Begin October 8, 1996.
Interdisciplinary research seminar in connection with the SFB Adaptive
Information Systems and Modelling in Economics and Management Science.
There are two areas of work planned for this term:
Analysis package: participants develop analysis instruments for financial
time series, based on selected literature. This group should consist of
participants with economics and computer science background. The tools -
based on well-documented economic and statistical concepts - will be
employed in future work in SFB projects.
Financial robot competition: financial agents created by the participants
compete against each other on an artificial electronic market. These
robots should employ some form of adaptive behaviour. We aim to explore
how even a population of very simple agents can show complex dynamic
behaviour.
The programming language C++ will be used for implementations. In
preparation for the work within the SFB the seminar language will be
English. The participants will work on projects in small groups and
present their work in the seminar. Well-documented projects and good
presentation will earn the students a seminar certificate for the SBWL
Informationswirtschaft or VWL.
