uk.ac.liv.auction
Class MarketSimulation

java.lang.Object
  uk.ac.liv.auction.MarketSimulation

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Runnable, java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

ZIPExperiment

public class MarketSimulation

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Runnable

The main JASA application class. This application takes as an argument the name of a parameter file describing an auction experiment, and proceeds to run that experiment. This application can be used to run many iterations of an experiment in batch-mode, in contrast to the interactive mode provided by RepastMarketSimulation.
