pygar.state.NegotiationGroupStateMachine

@ThreadSafe
public class NegotiationGroupStateMachine
extends StateMachine<java.lang.String>

A class used in a Blind Agent Negotiator (BAN) application to keep track of the negotiation groups. A negotiation group (NG) consists of two or more clients of the BAN who have mutually agreed to negotiation. Within a particular market, the BAN regularly starts a negotiation session among members of the NG and waits for the session to end before starting another. N.b. there is no method to alter the groupMembers after construction; therefore, the field should be thread safe if we declare it volatile.
