IndependentNegotiationsAgent
(*args, negotiator_type=<class 'negmas.sao.AspirationNegotiator'>, negotiator_params=None, horizon=5, **kwargs)[source]¶ Bases:
scml.DoNothingAgent
Implements the base class for agents that negotiate independently with different partners.
These agents do not take production capacity, availability of materials or any other aspects of the simulation into account. They are to serve only as baselines.
- Parameters
negotiator_type (
Union
[SAONegotiator
,str
]) – The type of the negotiator to use. The default isAspirationNegotiator
negotiator_params (
Optional
[Dict
[str
,Any
]]) – key-value pairs to pass to the constructor of negotiatorshorizon – The number of production step to handle together using a single set of negotiations. See
step
for details
Remarks:
IndependentNegotiationsAgent
agents assume that each production process has one input type with the sameindex as itself and one output type with one added to the index (i.e. process $i$ takes product $i$ as input and creates product $i+1$ as output.
It does not assume that all lines have the same production cost (it uses the average cost though).
It does not assume that the agent has a single production process.

record and returns its ID- Parameters
- Return type
- Returns
A unique identifier for this negotiation info structure
-

- Parameters
- Return type
- Returns
Either the object or the object and dump-info as a dict (if return_info was true)
Remarks:

classmethod
from_config
(config, section=None, ignore_children=True, try_parsing_children=True, scope=None)¶ Creates an object of this class given the configuration info
- Parameters
config (
Union
[str
,dict
]) – Either a file name or a dictionarysection (
Optional
[str
]) – A section in the file or a key in the dictionary to use for loading paramsignore_children (
bool
) – If true then children will be ignored and there will be a single returntry_parsing_children (
bool
) – If true the children will first be parsed asConfigReader
classes if they are nottypes (e.g. int, str, float, Iterable[int|str|float] (simple) –
scope – The scope at which to evaluate any child classes. This MUST be passed as scope=globals() if you are
any children that are to be parsed. (having) –
- Returns
An object of cls if ignore_children is True or a tuple with an object of cls and a dictionary with children that were not parsed.
Remarks:
This function will return an object of its class after passing the key-value pairs found in the config to the init function.
Requiring passing scope=globals() to this function is to get around the fact that in python eval() will be called with a globals dictionary based on the module in which the function is defined not called. This means that in general when eval() is called to create the children, it will not have access to the class definitions of these children (except if they happen to be imported in this file). To avoid this problem causing an undefined_name exception, the caller must pass her globals() as the scope.
