= GENIUS =

GENIUS is 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.

||!GeniusWeb|| ||Inactive (November 2011)||
||!GeniusWebDelft||Version of !GeniusWeb configured for a TU Delft server (http://mmi.tudelft.nl/GeniusWeb). The program specifies two activities: creating a preference profile for a specific domain and a negotiation against a simple opponent.|| Inactive (October 2011)||
||!GeniusWebSimulator|| || Inactive (May 2010)||
||Negotiator||Old non-web version of Genius, use NegotiatorGUI instead. Includes an implementation of a class to keep an agent alive over multiple negotiations.||Inactive (June 2008)||
||Negotiator20||Old non-web version of Genius, use NegotiatorGUI instead. Includes an implementation of a class to keep an agent alive over multiple negotiations.||Inactive (June 2008)||
||NegotiatorGRID||Non-web version of Genius 3.0. Repository contains a large set of corrupted files (filled with NULL). Overall, cleans up and adds comments to a large set of existing classes. Adds the !MultiPhaseAuctionMany protocol, unfortunately the file is corrupt.||Inactive (October 2010)||
||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||Non-web version of Genius 3.0 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. Can be merged with main branch.||Inactive (April 2009)||
||!NegotiatorWeb|| Old non-web version of Genius. All functionality has been added to NegotiatorGUI branch.||Inactive (August 2009)||
