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.

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.
