Description

Base Packages

jadex.model	This package contains the interfaces for the jadex metamodel.
jadex.runtime	This package contains the interfaces for the jadex runtime elements (ie, instances of metamodel elements), and other classes and exceptions to be used for plan programming.

Adapter Packages

jadex.adapter	This package contains the interfaces of the adapter layer, which is used to establish a connection between the Jadex runtime system and an underlying platform.
jadex.adapter.fipa	This package contains classes representing a platform independent abstraction layer for FIPA-specific agent functionality.

Utility Packages

jadex.planlib	The planlib contains ready-to-use plans and capabilities.
jadex.util	This package contains generic utility classes.
jadex.util.collection	This package contains useful extensions to java.util.collection classes.
jadex.util.concurrent	This package contains a thread pool implementation.
jadex.util.jtable	This package contains useful classes for working with JTables.

Jadex is a BDI reasoning engine, which means that it aims at simplifying the task of writing autonomous and intelligent software agents. The term reasoning engine stems from the fact that Jadex is conceptually independent of the underlying system infrastructure (since version 0.94) that is responsible for services like message passing. Currently, we provide Jadex for three different infrastructures: JADE, Standalone and DIET(experimental). One main advantage of this separation between agent behaviour and infrastructure is that Jadex agents can be defined in an abstract way independent of the underlying infrastructure making them usable in very different environments. Such environments may range from typical agent infrastructures such as JADE to component-oriented environments such as J2EE.
