A Constraint Based Agent for TAC-SCM

The annual international Trading Agent Competition-Supply Chain Management (TAC-SCM) game is based around the manufacture and supply of PCs. There are multiple agents in the game, scheduling production, competing for orders from customers and components from suppliers. A key decision to be made each day in the game is what offers should be made to customers. Each day, the agents receive a set of request for quotes (RFQ) from customers, agents respond with offers, and then the customers select the lowest bid. This work is in collaboration with Armagan Tarim, Brahim Hnich and Onur Koyuncu.
