OneShotAWI¶

class scml.oneshot.OneShotAWI(world, agent)[source]¶

Bases: negmas.situated.situated.AgentWorldInterface

The agent world interface for the one-shot game.

This class contains all the methods needed to access the simulation to extract information which are divided into 4 groups:

Static World Information:

Information about the world and the agent that does not change over time. These include:

Market Information:

n_products: Number of products in the production chain.

n_processes: Number of processes in the production chain.

n_competitors: Number of other factories on the same production level.

all_suppliers: A list of all suppliers by product.

all_consumers: A list of all consumers by product.

is_system: Is the given system ID corresponding to a system agent?

is_bankrupt: Is the given agent bankrupt? None asks about self

catalog_prices: A list of the catalog prices (by product).

price_multiplier: The multiplier multiplied by the trading/catalog price when the negotiation agendas are created to decide the maximum and lower quantities.

is_exogenous_forced: Are exogenous contracts always forced or can the agent decide not to sign them.

current_step: Current simulation step (inherited from negmas.situated.AgentWorldInterface ).

n_steps: Number of simulation steps (inherited from negmas.situated.AgentWorldInterface ).

relative_time: fraction of the simulation completed (inherited from negmas.situated.AgentWorldInterface).

state: The full state of the agent ( OneShotState ).

settings The system settings (inherited from negmas.situated.AgentWorldInterface ).

Agent Information:

profile: Gives the agent profile including its production cost, number of production lines, input product index, mean of its delivery penalties, mean of its disposal costs, standard deviation of its shortfall penalties and standard deviation of its disposal costs. See OneShotProfile for full description. This information is private information and no other agent knows it.

n_lines: the number of production lines in the factory (private information).

is_first_level: Is the agent in the first production level (i.e. it is an input agent that buys the raw material).

is_last_level: Is the agent in the last production level (i.e. it is an output agent that sells the final product).

is_middle_level: Is the agent neither a first level nor a last level agent

my_input_product: The input product to the factory controlled by the agent.

my_output_product: The output product from the factory controlled by the agent.

level: The production level which is numerically the same as the input product.

my_suppliers: A list of IDs for all suppliers to the agent (i.e. agents that can sell the input product of the agent).

my_consumers: A list of IDs for all consumers to the agent (i.e. agents that can buy the output product of the agent).

penalties_scale: The scale at which to calculate disposal cost/delivery penalties. “trading” and “catalog” mean trading and catalog prices. “unit” means the contract’s unit price while “none” means that disposal cost/shortfall penalty are absolute.

n_input_negotiations: Number of negotiations with suppliers.

n_output_negotiations: Number of negotiations with consumers.

Dynamic World Information:

Information about the world and the agent that changes over time.

Market Information:

trading_prices: The trading prices of all products. This information is only available if publish_trading_prices is set in the world.

exogenous_contract_summary: A list of n_products tuples each giving the total quantity and average price of exogenous contracts for a product. This information is only available if publish_exogenous_summary is set in the world.

Other Agents’ Information:

reports_of_agent: Gives all past financial reports of a given agent. See FinancialReport for details.

reports_at_step: Gives all reports of all agents at a given step. See FinancialReport for details.

Current Negotiations Information:

current_input_issues: The current issues for all negotiations to buy the input product of the agent. If the agent is at level zero, this will be empty.

current_output_issues: The current issues for all negotiations to buy the output product of the agent. If the agent is at level n_products - 1, this will be empty.

Agent Information:

current_exogenous_input_quantity: The total quantity the agent have in its input exogenous contract.

current_exogenous_input_price: The total price of the agent’s input exogenous contract.

current_exogenous_output_quantity: The total quantity the agent have in its output exogenous contract.

current_exogenous_output_price: The total price of the agent’s output exogenous contract.

current_disposal_cost: The disposal cost per unit item in the current step.

current_shortfall_penalty: The shortfall penalty per unit item in the current step.

current_balance: The current balance of the agent

Services (All inherited from negmas.situated.AgentWorldInterface):

logdebug/loginfo/logwarning/logerror: Logs to the world log at the given log level.
logdebug_agent/loginf_agnet/…: Logs to the agent specific log at the given log level.
bb_query: Queries the bulletin-board.
bb_read: Read a section of the bulletin-board.
