JIAC SYSTEMS AND JADE INTEROPERABILITY
Abdellatif Soklabi, Mohamed Bahaj, Jamal Bakkas · 2013
In the literature various Mobile Agents Systems (MASs) have been created, but with different proprietary technologies and application programming interfaces. In a heterogeneous network, an agent may need to migrate from one mobile agents system to another. Furthermore, not all the MASs are able to receive foreign agents, because a few of the MASs attempt to realize the FIPA Ontology Agent, and each one adopts a particular point of view of the interoperability problem. As a result, a system of transferring and transformation is needed to permit an agent created in one multi-agent system to continue realizing its tasks on another multi-agent system. Our work was to find an algorithm to transform and transfer mobile agents between JIAC and JADE taking the information contained in a JIAC agent to create its equivalent in JADE and saw to that, by migrating an agent from one of the two systems with its functions, attributes, and its added features, it can operate on another multi-agents system, based on our previous solution to the communication between both JIAC and JADE agents, which takes into consideration the application programming interfaces and the architecture language with which both systems were developed.
