....coordinate their activities and distribute and collect information. To this end, several agent communication languages (e.g. KQML [15] FIPA ACL [16] ARCOL [16] ICL [29] AgenTalk [21] KaOS [6] and AOP [43] and various software tools for them (e.g. TKQML [11] OAA [29] JAT and JATLite 1 [17, 39]) have been developed. Jackal is a tool for the use of KQML by agents written in the Java programming language. Java is a useful language for writing agents because it is relatively platform independent and has good language support for multi threading. Jackal benefits from these properties, and ....

....run stand alone, or as applets with some restrictions. Basic message passing is supported for KQML. An ANS is used to coordinate agents, and the AEE is the basic JVM. JAT is intended to be flexible yet comprehensive. Agents developed with JAT are tightly integrated with the agent shell. JATLite [39] is a successor to JAT, intended to be a much lighter weight package suitable for use with applets. Of note is its Router facility: applet agents can communicate with other applet agents by sending messages back through an associated Router or Routers (communication by proxy) The Router buffers ....
