Package jade.domain Description

This package and its sub-packages contains FIPA specific agents and ontologies. Standard FIPA system agents implementations are held within this package:

• AMS agent to manage agent platform life cycle for platform agents and to hold white pages informations about them.
• DF agent to keep yellow pages informations about agents, allowing multi-domain applications throug DF federation.

The standard fipa-agent-management ontology is represented by the classes contained in the jade.domain.FIPAAgentManagement sub-package.

A proprietary ontology, that allows the implementation of agent mobility, is represented by a class of this package.

Lastly, the package contains a JADE extension to the FIPA-Agent-Management ontology that is used, among the others, to allow platform administration via the RMA GUI.
