This repository provides a hands-on demonstration of two-way communication between agents built on the JADE framework. It includes example Java classes showing agent setup, FIPA-ACL compliant message creation, and asynchronous behavior handling. Developers can study Agent A sending a REQUEST, Agent B processing the request, and returning an INFORM message. The code illustrates registering agents with the Directory Facilitator, using cyclic and one-shot behaviors, applying message templates to filter messages, and logging conversation sequences. It’s an ideal starting point for prototyping multi-agent exchanges, custom protocols, or integrating JADE agents into larger distributed AI systems.

Fetch.ai’s Autonomous Economic Agents (AEA) Framework is an open-source Python SDK and CLI toolset for creating modular, autonomous agents that can negotiate, transact, and collaborate in decentralized environments. It includes scaffolding commands to generate agent projects, templates for protocols and skills, connection modules to integrate with multiple ledgers (Ethereum, Cosmos, etc.), contract interfaces, behavior and decision‐making components, testing and simulation utilities, and a publishing mechanism to distribute agents on the Open Economic Framework network. Developers leverage its modular architecture to rapidly prototype digital workers for DeFi trading, data marketplaces, IoT coordination, and supply chain automation.

The project uses the JADE (Java Agent DEvelopment) framework to build a multi-agent environment. It defines agents that register with the platform’s AMS and DF, exchange ACL messages, and execute behaviors like cyclic, one-shot, and FSM. Example scenarios include buyer-seller negotiations, contract net protocols, and task allocation. A GUI agent container helps monitor runtime agent states and message flows.

JADE is a Java-based agent framework enabling developers to create, deploy, and manage multiple autonomous software agents across distributed environments. Each agent runs within a container, communicates via FIPA-compliant Agent Communication Language (ACL), and can register services with a Directory Facilitator for discovery. Agents execute predefined behaviors or dynamic tasks and can migrate between containers using Remote Method Invocation (RMI). JADE supports ontology definitions for structured message content and provides graphical tools for monitoring agent states and message exchanges. Its modular architecture allows integration with external services, databases, and REST interfaces, making it suitable for developing simulations, IoT orchestrations, negotiation systems, and more. The framework’s extensibility and compliance with industry standards streamline the implementation of complex multi-agent systems.
