Methods Documentation

__call__(urange, state)[source]

Receives a normalized [0-> 1] utility range and returns a utility range relative to the ufun taking the tolerance _eps into account

Remarks: :rtype: Sequence[tuple]

This method calls scale_utilities on the input range

after_join(nmi)

A call back called after joining a negotiation to confirm wwe joined.

Return type:: None

after_proposing(state, offer): Called after proposing

after_responding(state, offer, response, source=None): Called before offering

before_proposing(state)[source]: Called before proposing

before_responding(state, offer, source=None): Called before offering

can_join(nmi, state, *, preferences=None, ufun=None, role='negotiator')

A call back called before joining a negotiation to confirm that we can join it.

Return type:: bool

on_leave(state)

A call back called after leaving a negotiation.

Return type:: None

on_mechanism_error(state)

A call back called whenever an error happens in the mechanism. The error and its explanation are accessible in state

Return type:: None

on_negotiation_end(state)

A call back called at each negotiation end

Return type:: None

on_negotiation_start(state)

A call back called at each negotiation start

Return type:: None

on_partner_ended(partner)

Called when a partner ends the negotiation.

Note that the negotiator owning this component may never receive this offer. This is only receivd if the mechanism is sending notifications on every offer.

on_partner_joined(partner)

Called when a partner joins the negotiation.

This is only receivd if the mechanism is sending notifications.

on_partner_left(partner)

Called when a partner leaves the negotiation.

This is only receivd if the mechanism is sending notifications.

on_partner_proposal(state, partner_id, offer)

A callback called by the mechanism when a partner proposes something

Parameters:

state (GBState) – MechanismState giving the state of the negotiation when the offer was porposed.
partner_id (str) – The ID of the agent who proposed
offer (tuple) – The proposal.

Return type:

None

Remarks:

Will only be called if enable_callbacks is set for the mechanism

on_partner_refused_to_propose(state, partner_id)

A callback called by the mechanism when a partner refuses to propose

Parameters:

state (GBState) – MechanismState giving the state of the negotiation when the partner refused to offer.
partner_id (str) – The ID of the agent who refused to propose

Return type:

None

Remarks:

Will only be called if enable_callbacks is set for the mechanism

on_partner_response(state, partner_id, outcome, response)

A callback called by the mechanism when a partner responds to some offer

Parameters:

state (GBState) – MechanismState giving the state of the negotiation when the partner responded.
partner_id (str) – The ID of the agent who responded
outcome (tuple | None) – The proposal being responded to.
response (ResponseType) – The response

Return type:

None

Remarks:

Will only be called if enable_callbacks is set for the mechanism

on_preferences_changed(changes)[source]: Called to inform the component that the ufun has changed and the kinds of change that happened.

on_round_end(state)

A call back called at each negotiation round end

Return type:: None

on_round_start(state)

A call back called at each negotiation round start

Return type:: None

scale_utilities(urange)[source]

Scales given utilities to the range of the ufun.

Remarks: :rtype: tuple[float, ...]

Assumes that the input utilities are in the range [0-1] no matter what is the range of the ufun.

Subtracts the tolerance from the first and adds it to the last utility value which slightly enlarges the range to account for small rounding errors

set_negotiator(negotiator)[source]

Sets the negotiator of which this component is a part.

Return type:: None
