= GENIUS =
We have developed a negotiation environment that implements an open architecture for heterogeneous negotiating agents. It provides the basis for an implementation of a testbed for negotiating agents that includes a set of negotiation problems for benchmarking agents, a library of negotiation strategies, and analytical tools to evaluate an agent's performance and their strategies allows user.

More information about GENIUS and the newest version can be found at the [http://mmi.tudelft.nl/negotiation/index.php/Genius Genius website]. The related Pocket Negotiator project can be found [http://ii.tudelft.nl/trac/pnprototype/wiki here].

The SVN repo is on 

https://tracinsy.ewi.tudelft.nl/svn/genius2/

To use SVN from Eclipse we recommend to install the Subclipse plugin from the Eclipse marketplace (Help menu/Eclipse Marketplace and search for subclipse). After that you can use File/Import/SVN/Checkout Project from SVN. So in steps:


•	install subclipse
•	downlod NegotiatorGUI:
•	import/from svn/create new repository location
 *	URI: https://ii.tudelft.nl/svn/nego/NegotiatorGUI/
 *	next
 *	enter SVN password
 *	select "https://ii.tudelft.nl/svn/nego/negotiatorGUI (the root of the presented tree)
 *	finish
•	right click on NegotiatorGUI and run As/Java Application
•	select "Application - genius" and click OK




We assume the developer has knowledge about Eclipse, Maven and SVN. Genius requires java 8. Java 9 is not yet supported.

The relevant branches for Genius GUI are:

* core: all code related to storing preferences and domains and running negotiations
* agents: many example agents and Negotiation Parties collected over the years
* domains: many example domains collected over the years.
* NegotiatorGUI: the project to run the genius GUI and to build a zip file for release.

You only need to check out the parts that you will be developing on. Eclipse will automatically get additional files from the artifactory as needed.

* To run genius GUI, run the {{{genius.Application}}} in the NegotiatorGUI project.
  * right click on NegotiatorGUI and run As/Java? Application
  * select "Application - genius" and click OK 
* To run the command line, run the {{{genius.cli.Runner}}} in the NegotiatorGUI project.

Please refer to the genius documentation (NegotiatorGUI/doc/userguide.pdf) for further details.
