        An opponentmodel estimates a {@link UtilitySpace} from received opponent
        actions.

        Domain as argument. unfortunately this can not be enforced in a java
        interface
        
        <p>
        <em>MUST</em> have an empty constructor as these are also used as part of the
        BOA framework.
