[agents] JADE-ANDROID released

[Ughetti Marco]

Dear JADE users and ANDROID application developers,

 

We are pleased to announce the release of version 1.0 of JADE-ANDROID, a
software package that allows developing agent oriented applications
based on JADE (http://jade.tilab.com) for the ANDROID platform.

Android is the software stack for mobile devices including the operating
system released by the Open Handset Alliance in November 2007 (refer to
http://code.google.com/android/ <http://code.google.com/android/>  and
http://www.openhandsetalliance.com <http://www.openhandsetalliance.com/>
).

 

The programming language of ANDROID applications is JAVA and the
completely new Dalvik JVM, allows accessing  all core functionality of
the mobile device. In particular on top of a JavaSE-like platform it
provides a set of new ANDROID specific API by means of which it is
possible to interact with the ANDROID Operating System, control the
device hardware and develop appealing and responsive GUIs.  

The possibility of combining the expressiveness of FIPA (www.fipa.org
<http://www.fipa.org/> ) communication supported by JADE agents with the
power of the ANDROID platform brings, in our opinion, a strong value in
the development of innovative applications based on social models and
peer-to-peer paradigms. 

JADE-ANDROID is distributed as an add-on of JADE and is available for
download under the terms of the LGPL license from the add-ons area of
the JADE web site. The add on also includes a Dummy Agent sample
application that runs on ANDROID SDK m5-rc14.

Detailed information about how to use JADE-ANDROID can be found in the
user guide included in the add-on distribution file.

Apologies for any duplicate received
