=================================================================================
====== Challenge ======
We invite everyone to submit a negotiation agent to The Automated
Negotiation League, held at IJCAI 2025. This year, the challenge is to
design a negotiation agent for sequential multi-deal negotiation. Your
agent will encounter multiple opponents in sequence and is rewarded for the
specific combination of the deals made in each negotiation. Therefore, the
agent needs to take into account possible future deals, survey the
available options, and beat other contestants by conceding efficiently and
obtaining the best deals.
====== Event ======
The competition takes place during IJCAI 2025 in Montreal, Canada, from
16th to 22nd August, 2025. The winners can acquire travel grants to attend
the competition at the IJCAI conference, and possibly give a brief
presentation there.
====== Entrants ======
Entrants to the competition have to develop and submit an autonomous
negotiating agent that runs on NegMAS: a Python-based negotiation platform
in which you can develop general negotiating agents. The NegMAS based
anl2025 module provides a method to run tournaments in the same settings as
this year's ANL competition. For more information, follow this link:
https://autoneg.github.io/anl2025/
The performance of the agents will be evaluated in a tournament between all
participants, where each agent is matched with other submitted agents.
====== Submission (Deadline: June 1, 2025) ======
The competition rules allow multiple entries from a single institution, but
require each agent to be developed independently. Participants submit their
agent source code through the following link: https://scml.cs.brown.edu/anl
