Java Virtual Machine An abstract computing machine. The JVM knows nothing of the Java PL, only of a particular binary format, the class file format. A class file contains JVM instructions (or byte codes) and a symbol table, as well as other ancillary information.

Java Byte Codes Rather than generating an executable machine instructions, a Java compiler outputs what are known as Java byte codes. Java byte codes are instructions written for a Java Virtual Machine that does not really exist. Java interpreter executes the byte code by emulating the JVM on whatever platform you happen to be using.

Comparison Java Virtual Machine

Must be the same to the file name Example HelloWorld.java import javax.swing.JOptionPane; public class HelloWorld { public static void Print() JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Hello! World!"); } public static void main(String[] args) System.out.println("Hello! World!"); Print(); Import library Must be the same to the file name Entry point

JADE JADE (Java Agent Development Framework) Framework aimed at developing multi-agent systems and applications conforming to FIPA standards for intelligent agents.

JADE The agent platform can be split among several hosts. Only one Java application(Main container) is executed on each host.

JADE Support to the execution of multiple, parallel and concurrent agent activities via the behaviour model.

JADE platform JADE is a middleware that facilitates the development of Multi Agent Peer-to-Peer applications. Full Java Runs on all JVM from J2EE to J2ME MIDP1.0 Downloadable from http://jade.tilab.com

Containers and Platforms

Containers and Platforms Each running instance of the JADE runtime environment is called a Container as it can contain several agents.

Containers and Platforms The set of active containers is called a Platform.

Containers and Platforms A single special Main container must always be active in a platform and all other containers register with it as soon as they start.

JADE

JADE Main container

JADE AMS (Agent Management System) DF (Directory Facilitator) Provides the naming service and represents the authority in the platform. DF (Directory Facilitator) Provides a Yellow Pages service by means of which an agent can find other agents providing the services he requires in order to achieve his goals. RMA(Remote Management Agent) Acting as graphical console for platform management and control.

Agent Management System (AMS)

Agent Management System Provides the naming service Ensures that each agent in the platform has a unique name Represents the authority in the platform To create/kill agents on remote containers by requesting that to the AMS

Directory Facilitator

Directory Facilitator Provides a Yellow Pages service by means of which an agent can find other agents providing the services he requires in order to achieve his goals.

DF Agent

Remote Monitoring Agent Provide the GUI to control agents’ lifecycle

Message Transport System Agent Communication Channel (ACC) Agent to Agent Agent Platform to Agent Platform

Outline Behaviour Agent Communication Example Sniffer Agent Example 2

Behaviour The setup() method should add at least one behaviour to the agent. Every JADE agent is compose of a single execution thread and all its tasks are modeled and can be implemented as Behaviour objects. addBehavior(Behaviour) & removeBehaviour(Behaviour) allow to manage the ready tasks queue of an agent.

Behaviour class WakerBehaviour class TickerBehaviour This abstract class implements a one-shot task that must be executed only once just after a given timeout is elapsed. class TickerBehaviour This abstract class implements a cyclic task that must be executed periodically.

Implementation OneShotBehaviour CyclicBehaviour Agent execute only once. CyclicBehaviour Agent execute by polling. import jade.core.behaviours.OneShotBehaviour import jade.core.behaviours.CyclicBehaviour

SimpleBehaviour class SimpleBehaviour class OneShotBehaviour This abstract class models atomic behaviours that must be executed only once and cannot be blocked. So, its done() method always returns true. class CyclicBehaviour This abstract class models atomic behaviours that must be executed forever. So its done() method always returns false.

CompositeBehaviour class CompositeBehaviour class SequentialBehaviour This class is a CompositeBehaviour that executes its sub-behaviours sequentially and terminates when all sub-behaviours are done. class ParallelBehaviour This class is a CompositeBehaviour that executes its sub-behaviours concurrently and terminates when a particular condition on its sub-behaviours is met. class FSMBehaviour This class is a CompositeBehaviour that executes its children according to a Finite State Machine defined by the user.
