A2A (Agent-to-Agent Architecture) is a Google open-source framework enabling the development and operation of distributed AI agents working together. It offers modular components to define agent roles, communication channels, and shared memory. Developers can integrate various LLM providers, customize agent behaviors, and orchestrate multi-step workflows. A2A includes built-in monitoring, error management, and replay capabilities to trace agent interactions. By providing a standardized protocol for agent discovery, message passing, and task allocation, A2A simplifies complex coordination patterns and enhances reliability when scaling agent-based applications across diverse environments.

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.
