Week 28: State of the art and first implementations

This week was reserved to finish the state of the art with its deadline on day 05/06 and start the first implementations of the project.

For the implementation, the team is using a framework built over the Spade, created by one the elements in his research job and that facilititates in this kind of simulations.

Right now, two distinct agents have been created, the fridge agent and house agent, responsible to simulating the fridge strategy and the house management behaviour.

A 10 step negotiation has also been implemented, with the device agents following their strategies and trying to reduce the overall consumption. In case they are not able to reach the optimal values, a second phase negotiation will then take place where agent will be more competitive to keep their devices turned on as reaching this second phase means that some devices might have to be turned off.

In the next week, different agents will be implemented and the IOT devices will start to be implemented along the rest of the system.
