Agent management Agent communication language (ACL) Integration agent and other computer software http://www.fipa.org/ A software agent A piece of software that acts for a user or other program in a relationship of agency

7. 7 JADE JADE (Java Agent Development Framework) Framework aimed at developing multi-agent systems and applications conforming to FIPA standards for intelligent agents.

8. 8 JADE The agent platform can be split among several hosts. Only one Java application(Main container) is executed on each host.

9. 9 JADE Support to the execution of multiple, parallel and concurrent agent activities via the behaviour model.

10. 10 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

12. 12 Containers and Platforms

13. 13 Containers and Platforms Each running instance of the JADE runtime environment is called a Container as it can contain several agents.

14. 14 Containers and Platforms The set of active containers is called a Platform.

15. 15 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.

17. 17 JADE Main container

18. 18 JADE AMS (Agent Management System) 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.

19. 19 Agent Management System (AMS)

20. 20 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

60. 60 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.

61. 61 Behaviour class WakerBehaviour 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.

62. 62

63. 63 Implementation OneShotBehaviour agent 只會執行一次 CyclicBehaviour agent 的會以輪詢的方式來執行 import jade.core.behaviours.OneShotBehaviour import jade.core.behaviours.CyclicBehaviour

64. 64

65. 65 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.

66. 66 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.
