Towards Developing Multi-agent Systems in Ada

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 4006))

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.

This work is partially supported by the TIC2003-07369-C02-01 and TIN2005-03395 projects of the spanish government.
