JASA provides a comprehensive set of Java libraries for building and running multi-agent system simulations. It supports agent lifecycle management, event scheduling, asynchronous message passing, and environment modeling. Developers can extend core classes to implement custom behaviors, integrate external data sources, and visualize simulation outcomes. The framework’s modular design and clear API documentation facilitate rapid prototyping and scalability, making it suitable for academic research, teaching, and proof-of-concept development in agent-based modeling.

MASlite provides a clear API to create agent classes, register behaviors, and handle event-driven messaging between agents. It includes a scheduler to manage agent tasks, environment modeling to simulate interactions, and a plugin system to extend core capabilities. Developers can rapidly prototype multi-agent scenarios in Python by defining agent lifecycle methods, connecting agents via channels, and running simulations in a headless mode or integrating with visualization tools.

Coaty is an open-source toolkit written in TypeScript for developing collaborative, decentralized IoT applications using software agents. It delivers a container runtime that hosts agent instances, a discovery and registry service for dynamic resource lookup, and pub/sub communication layers for event distribution. Built-in storage adapters synchronize state across devices, while a flexible data model allows you to extend and share domain objects. Coaty supports multiple transport protocols like MQTT and WebSocket, enabling robust, real-time interoperability between edge, fog, and cloud environments without central points of failure.
