Abstract

We propose an evolutionary approach for studying the dynamics ofinteraction of strategic agents that interact in a marketplace.The goal is to learn which agent strategies are most suited byobserving the distribution of the agents that survive in the marketover extended periods of time.We present experimental results from a simulated market, wheremultiple service providers compete for customers using differentdeployment and pricing schemes. The results show that heterogeneousstrategies evolve and co-exist in the same market.
