About the Project

Organized for the fourth time this year, TEKNOFEST, the Aviation and Technology Festival, completed the final competitions at Istanbul Atatürk Airport on September 21 - 26. 35 different competitions were held at TEKNOFEST, and our team participated in the Heterogeneous Swarm Simulation Competition, which started on March 13, 2020.

The 12th annual competition since 2010, ANAC 2021 (Automated Negotiating Agents Competition) was held online this year in conjunction with IJCAI 2021 (International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence).

We are happy to announce that our conference paper titled "A Decentralized Tokenbased Negotiation Approach for Multi-Agent Path Finding '' written by Cihan Eran, Onur Keskin, Furkan Canturk and Reyhan Aydogan has been selected as runner-up for the 18th European Conference on Multi-agent Systems (EUMAS-2021) Best Paper Award. 

The winners of the Day Ahead Market Optimization Competition - Algorithms Competing have been announced. Algorithms designed by the participants from academic and sectorial backgrounds were evaluated regarding their originality, solution quality and speed, and benchmarked with each other. Furkan Cantürk, a Master of Science student in the Artificial Intelligence Program at Ozyegin University, has won the first prize. He designed a heuristic algorithm working with a tailored convergence technique producing high-quality solutions to the Day Ahead Market Problem.
