/**
 * This package describes all the fundamental concepts in Bargaining Chips Game (BCG).
 * 
 * BCG rules are based on a non-alternating offer protocol in each bilateral negotiation thread. 
 * Multiple deals via simultaneous threads in the BCG one-to-many negotiation need to be coordinated.
 * So the players are equipped with two modules, one coordinator and multiple negotiators one per each thread.
 * 
 * One-to-Many package is dedicated to one-to-many negotiation which is a kind of negotiation different from bilateral and multilateral settings.
 * It is between a party which, in parallel, negotiates with many counter parties, opponents, on multiple multi-issue items. 
 * Of course each opponent, in turn, could be in one-to-many negotiation with its own opponents including this party.
 * 
 * Each of these individual negotiations is itself a bilateral negotiation over multiple items and multiple issues, a multi-issue multi-item thread. Each thread could reach a deal. 
 * So, the whole negotiation could reach multiple deals. 
 *  
 * Negotiating in this atmosphere needs some coordination efforts to synchronize threads according to the progress of each individual negotiation as well as the multiple deals compared with the party's preference.
 *   
 * Bargaining Chips Game, is a testbed dealing with these complexities.
 * The fundamental elements of its domain is in a package with this name (bargainingchipsname).
 * The players and the rules for their interactions are in packages `players' and 'interactions', respectively.
 *
