Class NegotiationInfo

java.lang.Object

genius.core.parties.NegotiationInfo

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class NegotiationInfo
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

An object that collects all the init parameters for NegotiationParty#init(). This makes the NegotiationParty.init(NegotiationInfo) call cleaner, and it makes it easier to add new functionality without having to fix all agents.

Constructor Detail

NegotiationInfo

public NegotiationInfo(AbstractUtilitySpace utilSpace,
                       Deadline deadline,
                       TimeLineInfo timeline,
                       long randomSeed,
                       AgentID agentID,
                       PersistentDataContainer storage)

Parameters:

utilSpace - (a copy of/readonly version of) the AbstractUtilitySpace to be used for this session.

deadline - The deadline used for this negotiation.

timeline - The TimeLineInfo about current session.

randomSeed - A random seed that can be used for creating "consistent random" behaviour.

agentID - The agent's ID.

storage - storage space where the agent can store data that is persistent over sessions. Depending on the run settings, each [agentclass, profiles] tuple can have its own unique storage that persists only during the run of a tournament. Between sessions, this data is saved to disk to avoid memory issues when other agents are running. If the storage is not empty, this data is retrieved at the start of each session and saved at the end of each session. The load is timeboxed by the negotiation settings. The save time is limited to 1 second. The programmer should ensure that storage is actually serializable. This call is timeboxed by the negotiation deadline settings.
