Welcome to the Negotiation Project

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. You can download the latest version, ​Genius 4.0. This includes the user guide explaining how to use it, a number of negotiation domains and negotiating agents, and examples how to implement a negotiation strategy.

The software requires a Java Runtime Environment, version 1.6 or newer. It can be run on the most of the platforms that support Java 1.6.

The software was demonstrated at the Twelfth International Workshop CIA 2008 on Cooperative Information Agents (CIA'2008) that was held in Prague, Czech Republic, where it won the "System Innovation Award".

More information about GENIUS and the newest version can be found at the ​Genius website. The related Pocket Negotiator project can be found ​here.
