  2. Table of Contents • I. Mobile Agents • II. JADE • III. Features of JADE • IV. Sample Code • V. Framework Diagram • VI. References

  3. Mobile Agents • Mobile Agents – is a composition of computer software and data which is able to move from one computer to another and continue its execution on the destination computer • Can interact with the variables of programs running on the host machine • Takes autonomous routes. • Migrates from one process to another

  4. JADE • JADE by Telecom Italia • Java Agent DEvelopment Framework • JADA is a software Framework fully implemented in Java language. It simplifies the implementation of multi-agent systems through a middle-ware that complies with the FIPA specifications and through a set of graphical tools that supports the debugging and deployment phases. http://jade.tilab.com/images/logo.jpg

  5. Feautures • FIPA-the standards organization for agents and multi-agent systems • Open Source • Java Development Interface • Heterogeneous Interface to support many agents at once

  6. Sample Coding • Creating and terminating JADE agents import jade.core.Agent; import jade.core.AID; public class BookBuyerAgent extends Agent { // Put agent initializations here protected void setup() { // Printout a welcome message System.out.println(“Hello! Buyer-agent “+getAID().getName()+” is ready.”); } // Put agent clean-up operations here protected void takeDown() { // Printout a dismissal message System.out.println(“Buyer-agent “+getAID().getName()+” terminating.”); } }

  8. The Run-down • Mobile Agents are used to transport code in the form of private messages from client to server and vice versa. • JADE is a Java platform/framework which allows mobile agents to be securely pass among the platform. • JADE has many features such as cross-platform meshing, dummy agent sniffing and introspecting, and multithreaded agents. • The framework is simple and one can easily see JADE’s place in the distributed computing schema.
