Class LotteryDialogueTest

java.lang.Object
org.tweetyproject.agents.dialogues.examples.LotteryDialogueTest
public class LotteryDialogueTest extends Object
Shows how a simulation of a multi-agent system can be set up. It defines a dialogue game between different agents, in particular one based on an action selection strategy using lotteries.

  • Field Details

    • frameworkSize

      public static int frameworkSize
      The size of the argumentation framework being used in the simulation. Represents the number of arguments in the framework.

    • attackProbability

      public static double attackProbability
      The probability that an attack exists between any two arguments in the argumentation framework. The value should be between 0.0 and 1.0, where 0.0 means no attacks, and 1.0 means all possible attacks are present.

    • enforceTreeShape

      public static boolean enforceTreeShape
      A flag indicating whether the framework should enforce a tree shape structure. If true, the argumentation framework will be constructed as a tree (no cycles).

    • timeout

      public static int timeout
      The timeout duration for each simulation run in seconds. Default is set to 72 hours (259200 seconds).

    • numberOfRunsEach

      public static int numberOfRunsEach
      The number of simulation runs to be executed for each experiment. Default is set to 100 runs.

    • semantics

      public static Semantics semantics
      The semantics to be used for evaluating the argumentation framework in the simulation. Default is set to GROUNDED_SEMANTICS.

    • RANDOM_SEED1

      public static long RANDOM_SEED1
      A fixed random seed to ensure comparability of simulation results.

    • RANDOM_SEED2

      public static long RANDOM_SEED2
      A fixed random seed to ensure comparability of simulation results.

    • RANDOM_SEED3

      public static long RANDOM_SEED3
      A fixed random seed to ensure comparability of simulation results.

    • RANDOM_SEED4

      public static long RANDOM_SEED4
      A fixed random seed to ensure comparability of simulation results.

    • runSimulation

      public static void runSimulation(boolean baseline) throws ProtocolTerminatedException
      Runs a simulation of the multi-agent system where agents engage in a dialogue game based on a Dung theory. The simulation is repeated for a number of runs and the results are aggregated. The simulation runs with a set timeout, and if it exceeds the timeout, it is aborted.
      Parameters:
      baseline - a flag to indicate whether the baseline agent (UtilityBasedAgent) or the probabilistic lottery agent (ProbabilisticLotteryAgent) should be used in the simulation.
      Throws:
      ProtocolTerminatedException - if the protocol ends prematurely during the simulation.

    • main

      public static void main(String[] args) throws ProtocolTerminatedException
      LotteryDialogue test main method
      Parameters:
      args - the args
      Throws:
      ProtocolTerminatedException - error
