/**
 * A negotiator agent has typically a buyer or seller role.
 * An agent has a wish list (to buy or sell), which is a bundle, and a utility function for evaluating any proposal. 
 *   
 * Negotiator class has a wishlist, deadline, picture, and (implements) a utility function.
 * 
 * Each user would enjoy a rational assistant agent to make one-to-many negotiation on his or behalf in Bargaining Chips Game.
 * Players in BCG one-to-many negotiation domain are equipped with two modules, one coordinator agent and multiple negotiator agents one per each thread.
 * The coordinator monitors and synchronizes all bilateral negotiation threads of each negotiator agent with an opponent regarding the whole preference list of the user. 
 * 
 * Each assistant, and accordingly its agents, could be in buyer or seller role.
 * Buyer agent and many instances of seller agents are created in each one-to-many negotiation.
