Abstract
JADE (Java Agent DEvelopment framework) is a middleware for the development
of applications, both in the mobile and fixed environment, based
on the Peer-to-Peer intelligent autonomous agent approach. JADE enables
developers to implement and deploy multi-agent systems, including
agents running on wireless networks and limited-resource devices.
The book is a practical guide to using JADE. The text will give an
introduction to agent technologies and the JADE Platform, before
proceeding to give a comprehensive guide to programming with JADE.
Basic features such as creating agents, agent tasks, agent communication,
agent discovery and GUIs are covered, as well as more advanced features
including ontologies and content languages, complex behaviours, interaction
protocols, agent mobility, and the in-process interface. Issues such
as JADE internals, running JADE agents on mobile devices, deploying
a fault tolerant JADE platform, and main add-ons are also covered
in depth.
