JADE Add-On to deploy Multi-Agent Production Systems
Come-back ↩

Targets:
  1. Convert and upgrade `dpsAgents` library as a JADE Add-On.
  2. Integrate with Production Systems based on CLIPS, Jess or Prolog.
  3. Govern the system's distributed Knowledge Base through agents behaviours.

Working lines:
Proposals Guides Notes Essays and papers [1] Proposals: They allow to group in sub-projects where to analyze, adapt or improve libraries; and where to establish component compilation processes used by agent-driven reasoning engines.
Each proposal is identified with a unique name, has a repository on GitHub and has a complete document describing its objectives, target platform and architecture, compiler used, etc.

[2] Guides: Documentation section, both manuals or guides that are specific to the JADE Add-On under development; as well as translations of programming guides or language books used by Agents or by Rule Engines.

[3] Notes: List of events, version release dates or, simply, to highlight links to repositories and dpsFramework project processes that have been completed.

[4] Essays: These are documents and essays that are critically important for understanding the background and rationale for the research carried out to develop the dpsAgents-1.8 Library, and thus for understanding the new JADE Add-On. This subject is highly technical and allows us to determine how the dpsFramework project can evolve; what lines will be needed during new developments; how to clearly establish Distributed Production Systems based on agent technology; etc.

PROPOSALS

JADE-4.6.0-R6871 BUILD PROPOSAL WITH JDK-17-LTS, OR LATER VERSIONS OF JAVA. JADE-6.4.0 (December, 2022) with JDK-17LTS
GitHub-Repo:  p21-jade-fipa-4.6.0

• Unification of the libraries used by the JADE 4.6.0 core: This is a proposal to update the compilation mechanism with OpenJDK-11 to 18 or higher.

    ~    

PROPOSAL TO UPDATE CLIPS-JNI-0.51 TO FACILITATE THE DETECTION OF THE MACHINE ARCHITECTURE AND LOCATION OF THE NATIVE LIBRARY AT RUNTIME Proposal: native library dual self-location of CLIPSJNI-0.51
GitHub-Repo:  p40-clipsjni-051

• The CLIPSJNI-051 Java component allows Java to be connected to the CLIPS core developed in C++. This proposal provides a proven solution for detecting the architecture of the machine at runtime, in addition to incorporating additional security enhancements. It is oriented to be used by JADE PS-Agents with problem resolution capabilities. However, it can be useful in any application that requires CLIPS 6.31 connectivity from Java.

    ~    

JESS 8.0A1 REVISION PROPOSAL TO BE COMPILED WITH JAVA 1.8 AT 32BIT AND WITH OPENJDK 11 OR HIGHER AT 64BIT. Proposal: compile and review Jess 8.0a1
GitHub-Repo:  p49-jess-80

• Jess is a rule engine for the Java platform. To use it, you specify logic in the form of rules using one of two formats: the Jess rule language (prefered) or XML. You also provide some of your own data for the rules to operate on. When you run the rule engine, your rules are carried out. Rules can create new data, or they can do anything that the Java programming language can do.

    ~    

JADE-FIPA ENHANCEMENT REQUEST TO ALLOW COMPILATION WITH OPENJDK-18, JDK-17 LTS, AND EARLIER VERSIONS OF JAVA. Compilation of JADE-FIPA with OpenJDK-18
GitHub-Repo:  p20-jade-fipa

• Unify the libraries used by the JADE 4.5.4 core: This is a proposal to update the compilation mechanism so that it can be done with OpenJDK-11 to 18 or higher. And allow future adoption of the Java Platform Module System in the JADE core.

    ~    

PROPOSAL TO UPDATE CLIPS-JNI-6.40 TO FACILITATE THE DETECTION OF THE MACHINE ARCHITECTURE AND THE LOCATION OF THE NATIVE LIBRARY AT RUNTIME Proposal: auto-localization of native library for CLIPSJNI-6.40
GitHub-Repo:  p41-clipsjni-640

• The component developed in Java CLIPSJNI-6.40 allows connecting Java to the CLIPS core developed in C++. This update proposal provides a solution to detect the architecture of the machine at runtime, as well as incorporating other additional security improvements, variable declaration adjustment and CLIPS engine Router deletion errors. This minor evolution of CLIPSJNI-6.40 is oriented to JADE PS-Agents. These agents manage and execute expert systems, and exchange their facts, rules and conclusions. However, this evolution of CLIPSJNI-6.40 may be useful in any application that requires connectivity to CLIPS 6.40 from Java.

PROPOSAL FOR THE TRANSLATION OF THE CLIPS 6.40 USER`S GUIDE TECHNICAL MANUAL, 2021 VERSION Proposal: CLIPS 6.4 User`s Guide, in spanish language
GitHub-Repo:  p42-clips-ug

• Since the first version of the CLIPS 6.20 User`s Guide, in March 2002, this technical manual has been an essential piece to get started in non-imperative programming guided by facts and actions. It has been progressively revised with every CLIPS release. The latest version of this guide has been reviewed by Dr. Giarratano J.C. and Edited by Gary Riley in April 2021. And now includes the latest advances introduced in CLIPS version 6.40.

PROPOSAL: INTEGRATION STUDY OF THE CORBA LIBRARY USED BY FIPA AND ITS POSSIBILITY OF ADAPTING TO THE OPENJDK-17 JAVA COMPILER Proposal: compile FIPA module with Java JDK-17
GitHub-Repo:  p10-fipa-corba

• The FIPA module belonging to JADE 4.5.4 requires the GlassFish CORBA ORB libraries for its compilation. Before migrating from JADE 4.5.4 r6867 to Java OpenJDK-17, it is necessary to check the behavior of FIPA with higher versions of Java.
