The Agent-based Programming Language
Chang-Hyun Jo, Allen J. Arnold · 2002
Agent-based programming has been emerged as a new programming paradigm for the near future. There have been many research work in agent computing. However, the software engineering methodology and programming languages for agent computing are not yet sufficient and practical.This paper proposes a new programming language concept based on the BDI-agent model. The new concept has been prototyped by Agent-based Programming Language (APL). The prototype system for APL translates the APL source into the Java source codes, which can be run on the Java Virtual Machine. This paper also describes our implementation scheme of the APL system. Examples are also shown to utilize APL for the real-world banking application.
