Abstract

The agent contest of 2009 has significantly increased the complexity of last years scenario. In this paper we present our approach to tackle this challenge. Based on last years work and methodology we introduce some refined collaboration strategies. While last years scenario gave rise to discussion of some destructive strategies, we think that this year such strategies play an important role and thus we try to address them. Again this years contest is strongly appreciated not only as testing ground and for evaluation purposes but also as contest of applied game strategies.
