The config file issue creates "cheating" avatars! A high priority item.
Matthew's code is probably perfect.
Please retest the HSR tournament after repairs. We ran the tests weeks ago
but not carefully enough.

It appears that the config parser is broken. My avatar is wkn32 but I
most certainly did not cheat.
My generate random claim function is:
108 /** Generates random claim */
109 private Claim generateRandomClaim(){
110 HSRConfig hsr_cfg = (HSRConfig)config.getDomainConfig();
111 int maxN = hsr_cfg.getMaxN();
112 int k = this.rand.nextInt(maxN) + 1;
113 int n = this.rand.nextInt(maxN) + 1;
114
115 // To Change: The protocol instance must be one of the
116 // allowed protocols mentioned in SCGConfig
117 Cons<FullyQualifiedClassName> protocolsAllowed =
config.getScgCfg().getProtocols();
118 ProtocolI protocol =
generateRandomAllowedProtocol(protocolsAllowed);
119
120 /**
121 * Can't have n == 0 because we always know rung 0 is
safe, so n must
122 * be greater than 0. Also k == 0 is a special case where n = 1.
123 */
124 if (n == 0 || k == 0)
125 return new Claim(new HSRInstanceSet(new
HSRInstance(1,k)), protocol, 0, 1);
126
127 return new Claim(new HSRInstanceSet(new HSRInstance(n,k)),
protocol, this.getOptimumQ(n, k) / new Double(n), 1);
128 }
So unless I've made an error that I am unaware of, it appears as if
config.getMaxN() is returning N>1000.
Please clear my name on the mailing list. It won't look very good if I
just proclaim, "No I wasn't cheating I swear".
Thanks,
Matt
