Abstract

There are many Agent Building Toolkits to develop multi-agent systems (MAS) in many businesses and in research areas. This makes it difficult for the developers to select the appropriate one. Thus, it is necessary to compare these toolkits to help developers to choose the most appropriate tool for their desired applications. This paper presents an evaluation of Java Agent Development (Jade) framework, Zeus Agent Building Toolkit (Zeus) and JACK Intelligent System (Jack). The evaluation is focused on performance evaluation on message transport system of Agent Building Toolkits.
