Package net.commerce.zocalo.experiment.role Description

This package contains the classes that manage roles for experiments. The experimental subjects are represented by the interface ExperimentSubject, the abstract class AbstractSubject, Judge (which represents judges, who do not trade), and TradingSubject, the base class for Manipulator and Trader.

The different roles that subjects may take on are represented by subclasses of Role. Each knows what information to read from the configuration file. Current roles include JudgeRole, ManipulatorRole, and TraderRole. Multiple Trader roles are allowed in an experiment. If Manipulators are present, there must also be Judges.
