Plans for 2014

Plans for the 2014 Power TAC competition
The goal for this page is to develop and document a consensus among server and broker developers on features and improvements for the 2014 competition. Please use the "Discussion" page attached to this page to add your comments; this page will be periodically updated as we approach a consensus. In order to participate, you will likely need to create an account on this wiki if you don't already have one.

Experiment manager
Some work has started on a version of the Tournament Scheduler that will serve as a platform for designing and running multi-game experiments. This is an essential element for empirical research using multiple brokers and multiple configurations.

Log analysis tools
The logfile analyzer works for extracting data from individual game logs, but it's also important to be able to extract data from large numbers of games and analyze them together in various ways. Some teams have ad-hoc sql-based tools for this. It would be a great service to the community to share ideas and code and come up with a flexible and easy-to-use toolset for this. Even better if it could be integrated into the experiment manager.
