Java Virtual Machine

An abstract computing machine.

The JVM knows nothing of the Java PL, only of a particular binary format, the class file format.

A class file contains JVM instructions (or byte codes) and a symbol table, as well as other ancillary information.

5

Java Byte Codes

Rather than generating an executable machine instructions, a Java compiler outputs what are known as Java byte codes.

Java byte codes are instructions written for a Java Virtual Machine that does not really exist.

Java interpreter executes the byte code by emulating the JVM on whatever platform you happen to be using.

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class HelloWorld{ public static void Print() { JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Hello! World!"); }

public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello! World!"); Print(); }}

Must be the same to the file name

JADEJADEJADE (Java Agent Development Framework)

Framework aimed at developing multi-agent systems and applications conforming to FIPA standards for intelligent agents.

13

JADEJADEThe agent platform can be split among several hosts. Only one Java application(Main container) is executed on each host.

14

JADEJADE

Support to the execution of multiple, parallel and concurrent agent activities via the behaviour model.

JADE platformJADE platform

JADE is a middleware that facilitates the development of Multi Agent Peer-to-Peer applications.

Runs on all JVM from J2EE to J2ME MIDP1.0

Containers and PlatformsContainers and Platforms

18


Each running instance of the JADE runtime environment is called a Container as it can contain several agents.

19


The set of active containers is called a Platform.

20


A single special Main container must always be active in a platform and all other containers register with it as soon as they start.

ImplementationImplementation

1. Import jade.core.Agent Library

2. setup() Initialize and register this agent to AMS, the current state is ACTIVE.

3. addBehaviour() Add behaviours to queue, the parameter is a behaviour class.

4. action() Define action of behaviour.

5. doDelete() Shut down the agent.

59


import jade.core.Agent;import jade.core.behaviours.OneShotBehaviour;

public class HelloAgent extends Agent{ protected void setup() { addBehaviour(new InitBeha()); }

class InitBeha extends OneShotBehaviour { public void action() { System.out.println(“Hello!"); doDelete(); } }}

68

Behaviour Behaviour

The setup() method should add at least one behaviour to the agent.

Every JADE agent is compose of a single execution thread and all its tasks are modeled and can be implemented as Behaviour objects.

addBehavior(Behaviour) & removeBehaviour(Behaviour) allow to manage the ready tasks queue of an agent.

69

Behaviour Behaviour

class WakerBehaviourThis abstract class implements a one-shot task that must be executed only once just after a given timeout is elapsed.

class TickerBehaviourThis abstract class implements a cyclic task that must be executed periodically.

OneShotBehaviourAgent execute only once.

CyclicBehaviourAgent execute by polling.

import jade.core.behaviours.CyclicBehaviour

73

SimpleBehaviourSimpleBehaviour

class SimpleBehaviourclass OneShotBehaviour

This abstract class models atomic behaviours that must be executed only once and cannot be blocked. So, its done() method always returns true.

class CyclicBehaviourThis abstract class models atomic behaviours that must be executed forever. So its done() method always returns false.

74

CompositeBehaviourCompositeBehaviour

class CompositeBehaviourclass SequentialBehaviour

This class is a CompositeBehaviour that executes its sub-behaviours sequentially and terminates when all sub-behaviours are done.

class ParallelBehaviourThis class is a CompositeBehaviour that executes its sub-behaviours concurrently and terminates when a particular condition on its sub-behaviours is met.

class FSMBehaviourThis class is a CompositeBehaviour that executes its children according to a Finite State Machine defined by the user.
