  abstract =	 {To ease large-scale realization of agent
                  applications there is an urgent need for frameworks,
                  methodologies and toolkits that support the
                  effective development of agent systems. Moreover,
                  since one of the main tasks for which agent systems
                  were invented is the integration between
                  heterogeneous software, independently developed
                  agents should be able to interact successfully. In
                  this paper, we present JADE (Java Agent Development
                  Environment), a software framework to build agent
                  systems for the management of networked information
                  resources in compliance with the FIPA specifications
                  for inter-operable intelligent multi-agent
                  systems. The goal of JADE is to simplify development
                  while ensuring standard compliance through a
                  comprehensive set of system services and
                  agents. JADE can then be considered to be an agent
                  middle-ware that implements an efficient agent
                  platform and supports the development of multi-agent
                  systems. It deals with all the aspects that are not
                  peculiar to agent internals and that are independent
                  of the applications, such as message transport,
                  encoding and parsing, or agent life-cycle
                  management.},
