- Announcing the Intelligent systems for Economics digest (IE-digest)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The Intelligent systems for Economics digest aims to act as a forum to
- exchange ideas on using `intelligent' techniques to model economic and
- financial systems.
-
- Techniques which were originally developed to model psychological and
- biological processes are now receiving considerable attention as tools for
- modelling and understanding economic and financial processes. These techniques
- which include neural networks, genetic algorithms and expert systems are now
- being used in a wide variety of applications including the modelling of
- economic cycles, modelling of artificial economies, portfolio optimisation and
- credit evaluation.
-
- The IE-digest will carry announcements of papers, calls for papers, requests
- for information and will act as a medium for researchers to exchange ideas in
- this rapidly growing research area. The format of the IE-digest is similar
- to other moderated forums such as the "neuron-digest".
-
- A depository has been set up to deposit papers, bibliographies, and software,
- which can be accessed via FTP. Past issues of the IE-digest will also be kept
- there.
-
-
- * The Relevant Technologies
-
- Neural networks, Genetic Algorithms, Classifier Systems, Expert Systems,
- Fuzzy Logic, Rule Induction, Dynamical Systems Theory (Chaos Theory),
- Artificial Life techniques and Hybrid Systems combining these technologies.
-
-
- * The IE-digest welcomes postings on the application of these
- technologies in the following areas. (The list is not exhaustive).
-
- Economic Applications:
- Modelling artificial economies, Forecasting economic time series, modelling
- behavioural Decision Making, modelling the evolution of economic webs,
- modelling economic development, modelling structural changes in economies
- and Artificial Adaptive Agents.
-
-
- Financial Applications:
- Portfolio Optimisation, Forecasting and modelling Financial Markets,
- Understanding Financial News, Risk Management, Trading Systems,
- Credit Evaluation, Bond Rating, and Modelling Artificial Traders and Markets,
- and other related applications.
