Welcome to the Power TAC Server Wiki

Introduction

This space is for managing the development of the server for the Power TAC competitive simulation. Please feel free to add material to existing pages or to create new pages.

This space is for discussing and communicating design and implementation details of the server. At the powertac.org site you will find an overview and public wiki that is primarily focused on the needs of potential participants.

Specification: Draft 2013 Power TAC game specification.
Issues: We use the powertac-server issue-tracker for tracking issues across all elements of the project. All other modules should have their issue-trackers disabled; if some do not, it's a mistake.
Discussions: Please subscribe to the developers mailing list at http://power-tac-developers.975333.n3.nabble.com/.
Papers: Can be found at http://www.powertac.org.
Data: Ryan and Erik have written up info on accessing public weather data and wholesale price data.
Javadoc: We are now using Doxygen to generate documentation on the Minnesota Jenkins CI server. Since the common module is built separately (so brokers can depend on it without sucking in server code), it's in two pieces, although the server also contains common to ease navigation.
- common
- server
Continuous integration We use the Jenkins CI platform at Minnesota to run a continuous integration process. Each time the master branch of a module is updated, it will be pulled into jenkins and rebuilt, and all tests run. This system also generates up-to-date javadocs using doxygen.
