We recommend that you copy the entire contents of this disk onto a directory in your harddrive.  You can do this through Explorer or using the MS-DOS (aka command-line) prompt.  To open up an MS-DOS prompt, click on Start at the lower-left of your screen, then "Run..." and type "cmd" for Windows 95/98 and "cmd" for Windows NT/2000 in the blank field and hit enter.

For example, let's assume your current drive is the 'A' drive, to create an ORGAHEAD directory on the C: drive and then copy the files onto your hard-drive, type the following commands, but only the commands after the prompt (i.e. after the ">" symbol):
A:\> c:
C:\> md orgahead
C:\> cd orgahead
C:\orgahead> xcopy a: .

Commonly Used Parameters
********************************************************************
This document contains a list of the parameters that, we, Carley and Lee have primarily used in our virtual experiment.  

-help	prints the list of parameters and default values

-ec	efficiency cycle - how often performance is checked
-mc	memory cycle - how smart the agents are (how much memory each has)
-cc	change cycle - how often the organization tries to adapt

-tp	training period - how much to train to the organization before testing

-po	print organization after each change
-pc	print the kind of change that is proposed
-pe	print the efficiency (performance) at the end of each efficiency cycle

Setting the Environment:
-tl	task limit - lifetime of organization
-tc	task complexity - how big (information-wise) is each task
-cr	cooling ratio - how fast the annealing occurs

-pcf	primary cutoff value for friendly decision for input (values less than this is friendly)
-pch	primary cutoff value for hostile decision for input (values greater than this is hostile)

NOTE:  refer to the orgahead.details.txt for more information on how friendly and hostile values are calculated

-scf	secondary cutoff value for friendly decision for input (values less than this is friendly)
-sch	secondary cutoff value for hostile decision for input (values greater than this is hostile)

-tf	probability that an input is friendly
-tn	probability that an input is neutral
-th	probability that an input is hostile

NOTE:  most of these examples will ignore the neutral task condition.

-pdm	length of time (i.e. number of tasks) for which primary cutoff values are in effect
-sdm	length of time for which secondary cutoff values are in effect

Generally for most of our experiments, we've set the following:
-tl 20000
-ec 500 (default)
-mc 500
-cc 500 (default)
-tp 500 (default)
-po pc pe
-tc 9 (default)
-pcf 85 -pch 85 (majority decision rule)
-tf .5 -tn .0 -th .5 (ignore neutral and make each task-bit binary)
