Intelligent Agent Technology
Intelligent software requires an intelligent framework. IntelliSkills has used a
number of advanced agent technologies to implement advanced solutions that require
components be adaptable, partitioned and/or mobile.
JADE
JADE, the Java Agent DEvelopment Framework,
is a widely-used multi-agent software framework fully implemented in Java language
that is used to build agent applications. It has a middle-ware that follows FIPA
specifications and uses a set of graphical tools in debugging and deployment phases.
The agent platform can be distributed across machines (which not even need to share
the same OS) and the configuration can be controlled via a remote GUI.
ABLE
ABLE, IBM's Agent Building and Learning
Environment, provides a set of Java interfaces and base classes used to
build a library of JavaBeans called AbleBeans. ABLE beans include AI capability
with rule-based inferencing using Boolean and fuzzy logic, and for machine learning
techniques such as neural networks, Bayesian classifiers, and decision trees.
CoABS
CoABS, the Control of Agent Based Systems,
is a highly scalable, secure, robust, light weight agent framework developed for
DARPA. It has been used in numerous defense projects, and is built on top of Sun's
JINI network.
Unicenter TNG Agent Framework
Unicenter TNG, the largest enterprise management suite, uses an agent framework
on a Common Object Request bus providing
common services, over an SNMP network. Agents can be built with the Agent
Factory API and access numerous services including an object repository, catalogue
management, caching and event management.
