A Market-Pressure-Based Performance Evaluator for TAC-SCM

Abstract. This paper proposes a novel method to characterize the performance of autonomous agents in the Trading Agent Competition for Supply Chain Management (TAC-SCM). We create benchmarking tools that manipulate market environments to control the conditions under which we test trading agents. Using these tools, we show how developers can inspect their agents and unveil behaviors that might otherwise have gone undiscovered.
