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.

JADE is a Java-based agent development framework that simplifies the creation of distributed multi-agent systems. It provides FIPA-compliant infrastructure including a runtime environment, message transport, directory facilitator, and agent management. Developers write agent classes in Java, deploy them in containers, and use graphical tools like RMA and Sniffer for debugging and monitoring. JADE supports agent mobility, behavior scheduling, and lifecycle operations, enabling scalable and modular designs for research, IoT coordination, simulations, and enterprise automation.
