- With all this interest in on-line Diplomacy, has anyone used
- Sarit Kraus's automated diplomacy player? His papers, "Negotiation in
- a Non-Cooperative Environment" and "Designing and Building an Automated
- Negotiator" describe work done at The Hebrew University, Jerusalem.
- The system was written in Ylisp, ran on a VAX/785, and communicated with
- players by E-mail. The program internally has a Prime Minister, a
- Ministry of Defense (with departments), a Foreign Office (with country
- desks), a Military Headquarters, and a Strategies Finder. Took three
- years to write.
-
- US references include University of Maryland tech reports
- UMIACS-TR 89-05 (CS-TR-2338), and UMIACS-TR-91-51 (CS-TR-2649).
-
- Does this thing really work?
