The final surface to cover, leads us to data-driven dynamic pricing under uncertainty. The key technical risk is not ``agents buying things'' per se, but agents shaping the behavioral and demand signals that downstream pricing systems consume and depend on. The introduction of these mediating actor entities into economic systems, is further creating a threat of false-name bidding, which prior research has explored in a trading context. Dynamic pricing assumes demand proxies are behaviorally meaningful, while bot detection aims at security and access control. The missing bridge is a principled framework for separating non-human reconnaissance from genuine human demand expression and integrating that separation into pricing heuristics without degrading legitimate user experience (in our research tracked by the user-experience index). This gap, is what our contribution aims to address - particularly for the afformentioned stakeholder groups. \subsection{Agent Taxonomy and Definitions} diff --git a/paper/src/main.tex b/paper/src/main.tex index ade5191..7098e97 100644 --- a/paper/src/main.tex +++ b/paper/src/main.tex @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ % -*- TeX-master: t -*- -\documentclass[sigconf,nonacm,natbib=false]{acmart} +\documentclass[manuscript,nonacm,natbib=false]{acmart} % Remove ACM copyright/conference info for thesis \settopmatter{printacmref=false}
