Abstract(in English) TAC(Trading Agent Competition) is a event in which autonomous bidding agents brought by participants compete in continuous auctions of complementary goods. In this paper, we consider the strategy in TAC based on the result of the first TAC, held in July 2000, and the changes of the rules in the second TAC, held in October 2001. Through simulations with some bidding strategies, we could find that it is effective to use so-called "sniper" strategy in the hotel auctions, and that it is important not to buy unnecessary flight tickets with predictions of their prices.
