Anniversary lecture

We celebrated the 18-year anniversary of our centre in October 2020 with a talk by Professor Edward Tsang. Edward is an emeritus professor at the University of Essex. He is a co-founder (2002) and previous Director (2009-2016) of the Centre for Computational Finance and Economic Agents (CCFEA). Professor Tsang discussed "Detecting regime change in computational finance" on Friday 16th October.

SAGT 2022

We hosted the 15th International Symposium on Algorithmic Game Theory (SAGT 2022) at the University of Essex.

The conference had world renowned keynote speakers including Prof. Aggelos Kiayias who talked about Decentralizing Information Technology: The Advent of Resource Based Systems.

Committee participation

CCFEA academics are members of the IEEE Computational Finance and Economics Technical Committee.
