In this work we present the experience of an electronic tournament between trading agents developed at the Technical University
of Catalonia (UPC) as a course work for an artificial intelligence applications course. Using the Fishmarket platform as implementation
basis, fourteen different agents were developed and confronted in a set of Downward Bidding Protocol (DBP) auctions in order
to measure the performance of their strategies. We present the different groups of strategies of the agents, their architectures
and their relationship to the success of the agents.
