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.

Multi-Agent Systems is designed to simplify the creation, configuration, and execution of distributed agent-based architectures. Developers can define agent behaviors, communication ontologies, and service descriptions within Java classes. The framework handles container setup, message transport, and life-cycle management for agents. Built on standard FIPA protocols, it supports peer-to-peer negotiation, collaborative planning, and modular extension. Users can run, monitor, and debug multi-agent scenarios on a single machine or across networked hosts, making it ideal for research, education, and small-scale deployments.
