Tiancalli06: An Agent for the Supply Chain Management Game 2006

For two years now, the Tiancalli project has been developed. This project consists in the construction of a TAC SCM compliant agent. The contest is about different software agents competing for a simulated market. This year, we present the Tiancalli06 agent. In this article the learning techniques implemented to the agent are described. These strategies are used so the agent can compete in the market and obtain incomes. The final results about the performance of the agent on the three phases that it participated are also presented - Qualification, Seeding and Quarter Finals. The previous results of this Project can be found in [8, 9, 10, 11, 12].
