/**
 * framework for optimal bidder. This agent never accepts. Tim commented:
 * OptimalBidder beslist alleen over de concessies, maar kan natuurlijk goed
 * worden gecombineerd met acceptatiecomponenten (optimal stopping bv) en
 * leercomponenten (simple frequency learning bv). Het leren is belangrijk,
 * omdat de OptimalBidder alleen een utility target oplevert. Samen met een
 * leercomponent kan daar een goed Pareto-optimaal bod bij worden gevonden, maar
 * dit ligt aan de toepassing.
