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.
SPEAR (Scalable Platform for Edge AI Real-Time) is designed to manage the full lifecycle of AI inference at the edge. Developers can define streaming pipelines that ingest sensor data, videos, or logs via connectors to Kafka, MQTT, or HTTP sources. SPEAR dynamically deploys containerized models to worker nodes, balancing loads across clusters while ensuring low-latency responses. It includes built-in model versioning, health checks, and telemetry, exposing metrics to Prometheus and Grafana. Users can apply custom transformations or alerts through a modular plugin architecture. With automated scaling and fault recovery, SPEAR delivers reliable real-time analytics for IoT, industrial automation, smart cities, and autonomous systems in heterogeneous environments.
