 == BidSpace
-The bidspace module contains functionality to support building a negotiation party. We currently have
-* OpponentModel: this is a category of classes that can estimate the opponent's profile from the bids that he places.
-* Pareto: this is a category of classes that can compute the pareto frontier from a set of profiles. Pareto optimality is an important mechanism to place optimal bids.
-* AllBidsList: this can be used to craete a list containing all possible bids in a domain. This list is created in a lazy way, and competely avoids storing the whole list in memory (which might not even fit)
