Pizza Party Planner Application

INTRODUCTION

The Pizza Party Planner application is a simple 8 agent society that exercises many key Cougaar modules, while staying relatively simple. It demonstrates a little of what Cougaar can do, and key features. It is also a good test to ensure key pieces of Cougaar are still working, and a good set of sample code for modeling custom components off of.

SETUP

Ensure that you installed cougaar.zip and cougaar-support.zip and that your COUGAAR_INSTALL_PATH environment variable points to the directory where those were unzipped. It will also help if you put COUGAAR_INSTALL_PATH/bin on your PATH.

RUNNING

To run this application, you run the 2 Cougaar Nodes that make up the system:

[In a command line window]
% cd COUGAAR_INSTALL_PATH/pizza/configs/pizzaparty
% cougaar SDPizzaNode1.xml

[Start another window]
% cd COUGAAR_INSTALL_PATH/pizza/configs/pizzaparty
% cougaar SDPizzaNode2.xml

EXPECTED OUTPUT

In the first window, you should see something like:

OTHER OUTPUT

As with all Cougaar applications, user interfaces for the Pizza Application are available as web pages.

The main interface for the Pizza Party is the "/pizza" servlet, available at runtime at:
http://localhost:8800/$Alice/pizza. (See the Javadoc here, and a sample final output here.)

To see all the servlets associated with the party planner, Alice, navigate at runtime to the "/list" servlet:
http://localhost:8800/$Alice/list

There are slides with pictures of the data flow, at Pizza Application Slides

Read more about the story and flow of the pizza party applcation: What is supposedly going on? What are the components involved?

These components may be re-used in your application, or modified slightly for your purposes. In ExtendingPizza we discuss how you might use this code for your own purposes.
