31   * A list of all {@link StrategyEvaluator}s participating in the
32   * contracting process for a goal. <p>
33   * For example, assume a goal g0 decomposes into two external
34   * subgoals g1 and g2. Now an attempt is made to contract out g1 to agents
35   * B and C, and g2 to agent D, E, F. In this case, we will have 5 strategy
36   * evaluators, one for each subgoal/agent combination. The shared strategy
37   * evaluator list allows one evaluator to consider the status of other
38   * evaluators when making bidding decisions. (Note: No implemented example
39   * to date has utilised the cross-evaluator dialogue feature).
40   *
41   * TO DO:
42   * This class should contain methods to retrieve strategy evaluators
43   * depending on their variour properties, e.g. their state, goal, current
44   * price, etc.
