Abstract—In this paper we present a model of the dynamics of an interesting class of stochastic cellular automata. Such automata are variants of automata used for density classification and they are chosen because they can be effectively used to address consensus problems. After introducing the topic and the basic notation, we study the dynamics of such automata by means of simulations with varying periods and neighborhood structures. We use the results of simulations to extrapolate a stochastic model of the dynamics of such automata that can be used to estimate stabilization time. I.

Abstract—In this paper we describe the current state of the development of JADE add-on for Android, a platform module that enables the deployment of JADE agents on Android devices. First, we motivate the research and we describe the rationale of the project. Then, we detail the coarse-grained architecture of the platform module and we discuss the underlying design decisions. The API of the module is also discussed to detail how programmers use it to host JADE agents on mobile devices. Finally, we briefly outline conclusions on the presented work. I.

Abstract-This paper presents and discusses a first complete example of the use of JADEL. JADEL is a novel agent-oriented domain-specific programming language built on top of JADE, the well-known agent platform which provides solid agent technology and several tools for the creation of agents and multi-agent systems. The purpose of JADEL is to make the development of JADE agents and multi-agent systems easier and clearer by means of specific abstractions and a lighter syntax. In order to understand, and properly assess, the actual advantages of using JADEL, a well-known JADE demo that uses JADEspecific features like ontologies and interaction protocols has been rewritten in JADEL. This paper first briefly presents the main features of JADEL, then it discusses the rewritten demo and compares it with original JADE code.
