| 40 | * Select the SHAOP protocol |
| 41 | * Use a small number of rounds, this is what the protocol is designed for. Log files can get very large if you use a time deadline only. |
| 42 | * You can select either a SAOP or SHAOP party. |
| 43 | * We recommend to leave the "advanced COB settings" off as usually the automatically generated comparebids party with the same profile but without the filter is exactly what you need. The COB party is only called by SHAOP parties but the GUI always requires you to enter a COB party (also if you use a SAOP party). In the picture below, you can see that we have party 1 a conceder, but the comparebids party is there anyway. |
| 44 | * You should assign a partial profile to SHAOP party. For testing we recommend to use a reference to a utility space (eg, a linear-additive space) and to filter it with "partial=10". Most normal SAOP parties can not handle such partial spaces, so you normally do not filter their profile (there is no "partial=10" applied to the jobs1 profile |
