• abstract = "This research is an extension of research done by Charles Richter, Gerald Sheble' and Dan Ashlock (1997, 1998) on double auction bidding strategies for electric utilities which trade competitively. This research considers the network topology and whether a successful bid transaction can occur given the flow constraints on the network. The ATC (Available Transmission Capacity) of the network is a flow constraint indicator that is used to provide feedback to agents attempting to engage in bilateral contracts. The aim is to develop adaptive agents that are able to recognize with whom they can enter a profitable bilateral contract. In other words, the agents develop preferential partner selection lists and bidding strategies in a simulated electric market. The idea of evolving preferred trading partner lists comes from the Trade Network Game (TNG) developed by Tesfatsion, Ashlock and Stanley (1995). The strategies being developed by the method described here are adaptive. The strategies are encoded in GP-Automata, a technique which combines genetic programming and finite state automata.",
