MADP
MultiAgentDecisionProcess (MADP) is a toolbox for scientific research in decision-theoretic planning and learning in multiagent systems. It is designed to be rather general, but most effort has been put in planning algorithms for discrete Dec-POMDPs.
Comments, bug reports, patches, etc, are welcome. A mailinglist is available at madp-users@isr.ist.utl.pt.

Required software (as Debian package names)
MADP includes all required software, although for OSX argp-standalone needs to be installed.
Optional software:
- Doxygen (doxygen) [for generating documentation]
- Graphviz (graphviz) [for dependency graphs in the generated documentation]
- lp-solve (liblpsolve55-dev) [for POMDP vector pruning]
- GMPlib (libgmp3-dev) [for using arbitrary-length integers as indices]
- libxml2 (libxml2-dev) [for using the XML-based factored model parser]
- Cuda [for policy iteration with GPU policy evaluation]
- cplex [for the DP-LPC solver]
For enabling optional software, see src/Makefile.custom and src/include/configuration.h.
Documentation and Installation Instructions
See doc/MADPToolbox-0.XXX.pdf, which also includes detailed
installation instructions.
To (re)generate API documentation from source, run:
make htmldoc
Open doc/html/index.html in a webbrowser
To compile, execute the following
sh autogen.sh
./configure
make
Problem descriptions can be loaded without specifying a path if
~/.madp/problems is a symlink to the problems subdir in the MADP tree.
Similarly, results are saved in (subdirs of) ~/.madp/results, so it will
be convenient to make a symlink to the desired results locations.
This can be accomplished as follows:
mkdir ~/.madp
cd ~/.madp
ln -s ~/<PATHTOMADP>/problems
ln -s ~/<PATHTOMADP>/results
