ACE-JADE: Autonomic Computing Enabled JADE

Abstract

Autonomic computing has become an enormous trend in software engineering in the past decade. Also, dealing with problems from a distributed system point of view has often become a choice. Using autonomic computing in distributed environments started about decade ago. In this context, the availability of a development environment could be useful for developing the systems easily and with better quality. In this research we are going to describe a method for extending one of the well-known development environments for agent-oriented systems (JADE) in order to enable support for Autonomic Computing in it. This research will state the desired path to the ACE-JADE by extending the Agent, Behavior, Message in JADE and also adding Knowledge into JADE.
