Agent-Oriented Architecture (AOA) is a robust framework that equips developers with tools to build and maintain intelligent multi-agent systems. Agents encapsulate state, behaviors, and interaction patterns, communicating via an asynchronous message bus. AOA includes modules for agent registration, discovery, and matchmaking, enabling dynamic service composition. Behavior modeling supports finite-state machines, goal-driven planning, and event-driven triggers. The framework handles agent lifecycle events like creation, suspension, migration, and termination. Built-in monitoring and logging facilitate performance tuning and debugging. AOA’s pluggable transport layer supports TCP, HTTP, and custom protocols, making it adaptable for on-premise, cloud, or edge deployments. Integration with popular libraries ensures seamless data processing and AI model integration.

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.
