Jadex: A BDI-Agent System Combining Middleware and Reasoning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nowadays a multitude of different agent platforms exist that aim to support the software engineer in developing multi-agent systems. Nevertheless, most of these platforms concentrate on specific objectives and therefore cannot address all important aspects of agent technology equally well. A broad distinction in this field can be made between middlewareand reasoning-oriented systems. The first category is mostly concerned with FIPA-related issues like interoperability, security and maintainability whereas the latter one emphasizes rationality and goal-directedness. In this paper the Jadex reasoning engine is presented, which supports cognitive agents by exploiting the BDI model and is realized as adaptable extension for agent middleware such as the widely used JADE platform.

متن کاملSynergy between Software Product Line and Intelligent Pervasive Middleware- a PLIPerM Approach
The current pervasive middleware is designed to have a monolithic structure according to a ‘one-size-fits-all’ paradigm, which lacks necessary flexibilities for optimization, customization and adaptation to different situations. Ontology evolution is another problem that has not been addressed by the existing pervasive middleware. In this paper, we propose the marriage of software product line ...
متن کاملThe Jadex Project: Programming Model
This chapter describes the priciples of the Jadex programming model. The programming model can be considered on two levels. The intra-agent level deals with programming concepts for single agents and the inter-agent level deals with interactions between agents. Regarding the rst, the Jadex beliefdesire-intention (BDI) model will be presented, which has been developed for agents based on XML and...
متن کاملLanguages for Programming BDI-style Agents: an Overview
The notion of an intelligent agent as an entity which appears to be the subject of mental attitudes like beliefs, desires and intentions (hence, the BDI acronym) is well known and accepted by many researchers. Besides the definition of various BDI logics, many languages and integrated environments for programming BDI-style agents have been proposed since the early nineties. In this reasoned bib...
متن کاملAn Ontology Driven, Procedural Reasoning System-Like Agent Model, For Multi-Agent Based Mobile Workforce Brokering Systems
Problem statement: It has been proven that Believe, Desire, Intention (BDI) agent architecture, performs suitably in dynamic and unpredictable environments. Although BDI architecture has been formulated rigorously, implementing BDI architecture is not as straightforward as it has been promised. Nevertheless, the preeminent implementation of BDI architecture is Procedural Reasoning System (PRS) ...
