CCFEA 10 Years Anniversary Workshop

Date: Wednesday 7 November 2012
Venue: Wivenhoe House, Colchester CO4 3SQ


CCFEA's 10th Anniversary

The Centre for Computational Finance and Economic Agents (CCFEA) was opened on 17 October 2002 by Professor Ivor Crewe, Vice Chancellor then, who sent this message. This Workshop was organized to mark CCFEA's 10 years anniversary.

This Workshop welcomed back Professor Michael Dempster, who laid the foundation of CCFEA. We also welcomed back ex-colleague Professor Dietmar Maringer, who helped to develop CCFEA to its current form. Much of CCFEA's current research is shaped by Professor Richard Olsen, who also gave a talk at the Workshop.

Over the last ten years, CCFEA has graduated several hundred Master and PhD students. CCFEA is like a big family. Many of our ex-students are keeping in touch with each other at the CCFEA Alumni. Many of our ex-students are playing key roles in finance and economics. In this Workshop, three of our Alumni, Dr Serafin Martinez, Dr Evi Pliota and Dr Amadeo Alentorn presented their work.
