• abstract = "The impending deregulation of the electrical industry in the USA promises to open a multi-billion dollar industry to competition. Current research indicates that the double auction will be at the heart of several regional electrical commodity exchanges. The authors are attempting to design comprehensive profitable bidding strategies for traders. The advantages of the strategies detailed here come from using data structures which combine genetic programming and finite state automata termed GP-Automata. Adaptive strategies encoded by two populations of GP-Automata are tested in an auction simulator modelling distribution companies and generation companies buying and selling power via a double auction. In addition to evolving profitable bidding strategies, the resulting strategies can also be designed to imitate certain types of trading behaviours. These strategies can be used directly in on-line trading, or as realistic competitors in an off-line trading simulator. In this paper we report the results of specific experiments which test the effect of changing the size of the GP trees, and the effect of changing the number of states.",
