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 ​Genius website. The related Pocket Negotiator project can be found ​here.

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.

We assume the developer has knowledge about Eclipse, Maven and SVN.

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.
