From a Research to an Industry-Strength Agent Platform: JADEX V2
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since the beginning of the nineties multi-agent systems have been seen as a promising new software paradigm that is capable to overcome conceptual weaknesses of mainstream object-oriented software solutions. Despite these theoretical advantages, in practice agent software is rarely used and as software paradigm has been widely superseded by the service-oriented architecture. One key reason for the slow adoption of agent-based ideas is that existing agent software in most cases does not provide business-relevant features such as persistency or scalability. Hence, in this paper it is analyzed which essential business requirements exist and a solution agent platform architecture is presented. This architecture has been implemented within the Jadex V2 agent platform, which is a complete overhaul of the V1 architecture.

Jadex: A Short Overview
Nowadays a whole bunch of different agent platforms exists 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 firs...

متن کاملCooperative Control of Mobile Robots in Creating a Runway Platform for Quadrotor Landing
Multi-agent systems are systems in which several agents accomplish a mission in a cooperative manner. In this paper, a novel idea for the construction of a movable runway platform based on multi-agent systems is presented. It is assumed that an aerial agent (quadrotor) decides to make an emergency landing due to reasons such as a decrease in energy level or technical failure, while there is no ...
متن کاملJACKTM Intelligent Agents: An Industrial Strength Platform
Software agents offer a range of benefits to the development of complex software systems. However, before these benefits can be realised by the computing industry there is a need for an agent platform that can be accepted by industry. In this paper we describe the JACK agent platform: a mature and robust commercial product. We argue that JACK meets requirements such as familiarity, scalability ...
