Jade 25.3

Curious curium.

Although perhaps not as renowned as its actinide siblings plutonium and uranium, the fourth transuranic element — named in honour of Pierre and Marie Curie — has a story that is intertwined with that of the twentieth century. The first isotope of element 96, 242Cm, was prepared in 1944 by Seaborg, James, and Ghiorso through bombardment of 239Pu with helium nuclei. This finding was quickly follo...

From Simulation to Development in MAS - A JADE-based Approach

Multi-agent systems (MAS) present an effective approach to the efficient development of modular systems composed of interacting agents. Several frameworks exist that aid the development of MAS, but they are often not very appropriate for some kind of uses, such as for Multi-Agent-based Simulation (MABS). Other frameworks exist for running simulations, sharing little with the former. While open ...

Applications experience in Jade

This paper presents our experience developing applications in Jade, a portable, implicitly parallel programming language designed for exploiting task-level concurrency. Jade programmers start with a program written in a standard serial, imperative language, then use Jade constructs to describe how parts of the program access data. The Jade implementation analyzes this information to automatical...
