||NegotiatorGUI||Version used to run ANAC competition. Non-web version of Genius which contains BOA framework -- which allows to separately develop the bidding strategy, acceptance strategy, opponent model -- and allows to distribute a tournament over multiple computers using a simple database.||Active||
||!NegotiatorProtocol||Branch of old version of Genius (3.0). Non-web version of Genius which implements WSagreement protocol, which allows to specify the ranges of issues in an offer (for example: the price for the laptop should be between 800 and 900). A WSAgent is a more generic version of a normal agent. Therefore, normal agents are not compatible with the protocol.||Inactive (April 2009)||
