ACM CONFERENCE ON ECONOMICS AND COMPUTATION (ACM EC'15)
Call for Papers, Workshops and Tutorials
16th ACM Conference on Economics and Computation
June 15-19, 2015
Portland, OR, USA
Conference overview
Since 1999 the ACM Special Interest Group on Electronic Commerce (SIGecom) has
sponsored the leading scientific conference on advances in theory, systems, and
applications at the interface of economics and computation, including
applications to electronic commerce.
The Sixteenth ACM Conference on Economics and Computation (EC'15) will feature
invited speakers, paper presentations, workshops, and tutorials. EC'15 will be
held as part of the Federate Computing Research Conference (FCRC 2015) in
Portland, Oregon.
The conference will be held from Monday, June 15, 2015 through Friday, June 19,
2015 in Portland, Oregon, USA. Accepted technical papers will be presented from
June 17 through June 19; tutorials and workshops will be held on June 15 and
June 16. Accepted papers will be available in the form in which they are
published in the ACM Digital Library prior to the conference.
The focus of the conference is research at the interface of economics and
computation related to (but not limited to) the following three non-exclusive
focus areas:
Theory and Foundations Artificial Intelligence and Applied Game Theory
Experimental, Empirical, and Applications
Authors can designate a paper for one or two of these focus areas. Each area
has dedicated Senior Program Committee (SPC) and Program Committee (PC) members
to allow appropriate review of papers.
We are committed to accepting papers of the very highest quality on the
interface between computer science and economics. If we receive a large number
of such submissions we will hold some sessions in parallel, grouping these
sessions by topic rather than by area.

Auction theory

PAPER SUBMISSION
Submissions should be made at http://www.sigecom.org/ec15/papers.html
The conference is soliciting full papers (as well as workshop and tutorial
proposals; see below) on all aspects of research covered by the conference.
Submitted papers should clearly establish the research contribution, its
relevance, and its relation to prior research. All submissions must be made in
the appropriate format, and within a specified length limit; details and a
LaTeX template can be found at the submission site. Additional pages beyond the
length limit may be included as appendices, but will only be read at the
discretion of the reviewers.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: To accommodate the publishing traditions of different fields,
authors of accepted papers can ask that only a one page abstract of the paper
appear in the proceedings, along with a URL pointing to the full paper. Authors
should guarantee the link to be reliable for at least two years. This option is
available to accommodate subsequent publication in journals that would not
consider results that have been published in preliminary form in a conference
proceedings. Such papers must be submitted electronically and formatted just
like papers submitted for full-text publication.
Simultaneous submission of results to another conference with published
proceedings is not allowed. Results previously published or presented at
another archival conference prior to EC, or published (or accepted for
publication) at a journal prior to the submission deadline to EC, will not be
considered. Simultaneous submission of results to a journal is allowed only if
the author intends to publish the paper as a one page abstract in EC'14. Papers
that are accepted and appear as a one page abstract can be subsequently
submitted for publication in a journal but may not be submitted to any other
conference that has a published proceedings.
WORKSHOP AND TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
The conference is soliciting proposals for tutorials and workshops to be held
in conjunction with the conference. Tutorial proposals should contain the title
of the tutorial, a two-page description of the topic matter, the names and
short biographies of the tutor(s), and dates/venues where earlier versions of
the tutorial were given (if any). Workshop proposals should contain the title
of the workshop, the names and short biographies of the organizers, and the
names of confirmed or candidate participants. Workshop proposals should also
include a two-page description describing the theme, the reviewing process for
participants, the organization of the workshop, and required facilities for the
workshop. Informal suggestions for workshop or tutorial ideas can also be sent
without a full proposal to the workshop and tutorial chairs at any time.
Submission information can be found on the conference website.
