Lab

Content

We will try some technologies meant to build MAS. A list follows, but be aware that the program may change!

• JADE
• JASON
• CArtAgO
• TuCSoN

We may also try to integrate and use them together.

There is some more software you'll need:

• Oracle JDK SE (OpenJDK works perfectly too and, since is the reference now, is probably better.)
• Eclipse SDK 3.7 Classic
• Jason for jEdit

Slides

Slides will be available as soon as possible. The worst case is that I'll upload the slides as soon as the lesson finishes

• 0. Introduction to the curse
• 1. Java Agent DEvelopment Framework
• 2. Jason: a Java-based interpreter for an extended version of AgentSpeak - Part 1
• 3. Jason: a Java-based interpreter for an extended version of AgentSpeak - Part 2
• 4. Jason/JADE integration: distributing BDI Agents
• 5. Common ARTifact infrastructure for AGents Open environments
• 6. Jason + CArtAgO + Java + tuProlog: BDI agents spread over the network using artifacts and living in a Prolog world
• 7. Tuple Centres Spread on Network

Code

• 3. Base code, Communication protocol, Base code with broker and DF already implemented (lazy people only)
• 4. Base code
• 6. Base code
• 7. TuCSoN distribution and some base code

Solutions

Solutions will be uploaded only after (or during) the lessons.

• 1. Code as developed before the lesson, Code modified during the lesson, with the broker provided with referee service.
• 2. Hello world, concurrent factorial with context check and sequential factorial with test goals.

Solutions from students

Because some students are skilled enough to share their code with everybody.

Videos

If you are experiencing very technical issues with some software component and you are too lazy to check the Web for a solution, you can see a few guide videos.

• Import a compressed project in Eclipse
• How to include a JAR library within an Eclipse project (example with jade.jar)
