Abstract
Agent-oriented technology is a rising paradigm for developing quality software in complex domains. Currently, no Ada interface or middleware exist for the development of agent-based applications. In this paper, an Ada binding for developing agent and multi-agent-based applications in Ada is proposed. This binding is compatible with an existing open-source agent platform named SPADE.
