SECOND WORKSHOP ON GAME THEORETIC AND DECISION THEORETIC AGENTS

The workshop will be held on the 7th July 2000, at the Boston Plaza Hotel in conjunction with the 4th International Conference on Multi-Agent Systems.

Presenters please note that presentation times differ (the middle talk in each session is shorter than the others in that session).

All presenters are asked to time their talks to give 2-3 minutes for questions at the end without over-running their timetabled slot.
