Method Detail

createUniformWeightsList

public static java.util.List<java.lang.Double> createUniformWeightsList(int size)

setFlatteningStrategyByName

public final void setFlatteningStrategyByName(java.lang.String flatteningStrategy)

Method used to flatten the list of utility spaces. It is used to simulate the creation of a new utility space according to a certain mapping of outcomes to utilities. An example is the Average strategy in which case the utility of a bid is calculated as the average of the bid utility of each one of the utility spaces on the list.

getUtility

public double getUtility(Bid bid)

Parameters:

bid - of which we are interested in its utility.

Returns:

Utility of the given bid. This utility is undiscounted: there is no time dependent devaluation of the utility. See also UtilitySpace.discount(double, double).

getBidsInRangeByUtilitySpace

public java.util.List<java.util.List<BidDetails>> getBidsInRangeByUtilitySpace(Range range)

Returns a list of the size of the number of utility spaces each element of which is a list of the bids in the range we want

copy

public UtilitySpace copy()

Returns:

a deep copy of this utility space.

isComplete

public java.lang.String isComplete()

Description copied from interface: UtilitySpace

Check if this utility space is complete and ready for negotiation.

Returns:

null if util space is complete, else returns String containing explanation why not.

toXML

public SimpleElement toXML()
                    throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from interface: UtilitySpace

Creates an xml representation (in the form of a SimpleElements) of the utilityspace.

Returns:

A representation of this utilityspace or null when there was an error.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getUtilitySpaces

public java.util.List<AbstractUtilitySpace> getUtilitySpaces()
