jADE (Java Agent Development Framework) is a software development framework
aimed at developing multi-agent systems and applications conforming to FIPA
standards for intelligent agents. It includes two main products: a
FIPA-compliant agent platform and a package to develop Java agents. JADE has
been fully coded in Java and an agent programmer, in order to exploit the
framework, should code his/her agents in Java, following the implementation
guidelines described in this programmer's guide.
