Matching Extension

A Java implementation of a matching market simulator using the spring-boot framework and NetLogo for agent-based modeling.

Requires

• NetLogo 6.1.1 is installed on local machine.

NetLogo Installation

1. Run the mvn clean compile assembly:single maven goal to build the jar with all dependencies attached.
2. The fully built jar should be located in ./target/matching-jar-with-dependencies.jar
3. Copy jar to your NetLogo installation directory. An example would be: cp ./target/matching-jar-with-dependencies.jar /Applications/NetLogo 6.1.1/extensions/matching/matching.jar
4. Now you should be able to run the extension matching from NetLogo. It appears as a Conflicting Library under Tools > Extensions
5. The NetLogo code should include: extensions [matching]

Sample NetLogo Usage

  // create default matching engine, no arguments
  let t matching:create-default []

  // add bid [matching-engine order_size price contract agent timestamp]
  let tmp matching:add-bid t 3 0.345 "GC1!" "sam" tick

  // add offer [matching-engine order_size price contract agent timestamp]
  let tmp matching:add-offer t 2 0.347 "GC1!" "sam" tick

  // run matching engine [matching-engine]
  let tmp matching:match-update t
