Bases: negmas.Agent

Base class for all SCML2020 agents (factory managers)

property internal_state: Dict[str, Any]

Returns the internal state of the agent for debugging purposes

reset()

is_clean() → bool

init()

Called to initialize the agent after the world is initialized. the AWI is accessible at this point.

before_step()

step_()

Called at every time-step. This function is called directly by the world.

step()

Called by the simulator at every simulation step

to_dict()

_respond_to_negotiation_request(initiator: str, partners: List[str], issues: List[negmas.Issue], annotation: Dict[str, Any], mechanism: negmas.NegotiatorMechanismInterface, role: str | None, req_id: str | None) → negmas.Negotiator | None

Called by the mechanism to ask for joining a negotiation. The agent can refuse by returning a None

Parameters:

• initiator – The ID of the agent that initiated the negotiation request

• partners – The partner list (will include this agent)

• issues – The list of issues

• annotation – Any annotation specific to this negotiation.

• mechanism – The mechanism that started the negotiation

• role – The role of this agent in the negotiation

• req_id – The req_id passed to the AWI when starting the negotiation (only to the initiator).

Returns:

None to refuse the negotiation or a Negotiator object appropriate to the given mechanism to accept it.

Remarks:

• It is expected that world designers will introduce a better way to respond and override this function to call it

on_contract_breached(contract: negmas.Contract, breaches: List[negmas.Breach], resolution: negmas.Contract | None) → None

Called after complete processing of a contract that involved a breach.

Parameters:

• contract – The contract

• breaches – All breaches committed (even if they were resolved)

• resolution – The resolution contract if re-negotiation was successful. None if not.

on_contract_executed(contract: negmas.Contract) → None

Called after successful contract execution for which the agent is one of the partners.

set_renegotiation_agenda(contract: negmas.Contract, breaches: List[negmas.Breach]) → negmas.RenegotiationRequest | None

Received by partners in ascending order of their total breach levels in order to set the renegotiation agenda when contract execution fails

Parameters:

• contract – The contract being breached

• breaches – All breaches on contract

Returns:

Renegotiation agenda (issues to negotiate about to avoid reporting the breaches).

respond_to_renegotiation_request(contract: negmas.Contract, breaches: List[negmas.Breach], agenda: negmas.RenegotiationRequest) → negmas.Negotiator | None

Called to respond to a renegotiation request

Parameters:

• agenda –

• contract –

• breaches –

Returns:

on_neg_request_rejected(req_id: str, by: List[str] | None)

Called when a requested negotiation is rejected

Parameters:

• req_id – The request ID passed to _request_negotiation

• by – A list of agents that refused to participate or None if the failure was for another reason

on_neg_request_accepted(req_id: str, mechanism: negmas.NegotiatorMechanismInterface)

Called when a requested negotiation is accepted

on_negotiation_failure(partners: List[str], annotation: Dict[str, Any], mechanism: negmas.NegotiatorMechanismInterface, state: negmas.MechanismState) → None

Called whenever a negotiation ends without agreement

on_negotiation_success(contract: negmas.Contract, mechanism: negmas.NegotiatorMechanismInterface) → None

Called whenever a negotiation ends with agreement

on_agent_bankrupt(agent: str, contracts: List[negmas.Contract], quantities: List[int], compensation_money: int) → None

Called whenever a contract is nullified (because the partner is bankrupt)

Parameters:

• agent – The ID of the agent that went bankrupt.

• contracts – All future contracts between this agent and the bankrupt agent.

• quantities – The actual quantities that these contracts will be executed at.

• compensation_money – The compensation money that is already added to the agent’s wallet (if ANY).

Remarks:

• compensation_money will be nonzero iff immediate_compensation is enabled for this world

on_failures(failures: List[scml.scml2020.common.Failure]) → None

Called whenever there are failures either in production or in execution of guaranteed transactions

Parameters:

failures – A list of Failure s.

respond_to_negotiation_request(initiator: str, issues: List[negmas.Issue], annotation: Dict[str, Any], mechanism: negmas.NegotiatorMechanismInterface) → negmas.Negotiator | None

Called whenever another agent requests a negotiation with this agent.

Parameters:

• initiator – The ID of the agent that requested this negotiation

• issues – Negotiation issues

• annotation – Annotation attached with this negotiation

• mechanism – The NegotiatorMechanismInterface interface to the mechanism to be used for this negotiation.

Returns:

None to reject the negotiation, otherwise a negotiator

confirm_production(commands: numpy.ndarray, balance: int, inventory) → numpy.ndarray

Called just before production starts at every time-step allowing the agent to change what is to be produced in its factory

Parameters:

• commands – an n_lines vector giving the process to be run at every line (NO_COMMAND indicates nothing to be processed

• balance – The current balance of the factory

• inventory – an n_products vector giving the number of items available in the inventory of every product type.

Returns:

an n_lines vector giving the process to be run at every line (NO_COMMAND indicates nothing to be processed

Remarks:

• Not called in SCML2020 competition.

• The inventory will contain zero items of all products that the factory does not buy or sell

• The default behavior is to just retrun commands confirming production of everything.

sign_all_contracts(contracts: List[negmas.Contract]) → List[str | None]

Signs all contracts
