| Description |
This project emerged as my Diploma thesis assignment:
"framework for mobile multiagent systems". Jade4script is a framework,
which adds support of scripting languages to robust and well known
JADE framework. With this framework the behaviors of JADE agents can
be controlled by scripting languages. Since scripting languages are
interpreted, there is no need for compilation of source code, which
manages Agent behavior. This code is the one, which is most frequently
changed by the developers due to purposes of testing or continual
change of functionality. The obvious advantage of this approach is in
dynamic and rapid change of agent behavior even during runtime, so
there is no need to restart the running system. Main goal of my
research was to simplify agent creation. Therefore I created a GUI
application for agent management called "Agent management tool". This
application enables to store agents and their behaviors and it's main
feature is the online deployment of agents to agent platform with
scripting support. Dynamic change of agent's behavior is also possible
with the GUI. |
