[[JADE>>http://jade.tilab.com]] is a FIPA-compliant Java-based agent development framework featuring standard //MAS middleware// features such as agent mobility, white and yellow pages service, ACL-based message passing, and built-in FIPA protocols. [[{{tucson/}}>>TuCSoN.WebHome]] is a Java-based middleware providing software agents with //coordination as a service// via programmable logic tuple spaces, called tuple centres. By combining {{tucson/}} and JADE, {{t4j/}} aims at providing MAS engineers with a full-featured MAS middleware, enabling them to exploit both dimensions of //agent-oriented software engineering// — //individual//, through JADE agents; //social//, via {{tucson/}} tuple centres — in a complete and well-balanced way. |
