Abstract
The growing complexity of agent systems has made network management very difficult. The paper presents the comparative study of two different open-source MAS architectures. The main output of this paper can be summarized within two statements. Firstly, we focus on the description of selected features in Aglets and Jade. Secondly, we aim to provide the programming implementation of the same distributed data exchange experiment in both systems. We illustrate this by specifying a large number of experiments within different environment configurations to build a base for comparison Aglets and Jade and to put across valuation of network configuration impact on system performance.
