Projects

JaCaMo

Multi-Agent Programming Framework

JaCaMo is a framework for Multi-Agent Programming that combines three separate technologies (Jason, Cartago, and Moise), each of them being well-known on its own and developed for a number of years so they are fairly robust and fully-fledged.

Jason

Programming BDI agents with AgentSpeak

Developed in a collaboration with Rafael Bordini (PUCRS, Brazil) and Jomi Hübner (University of Santa Catarina, Brazil). The project develops an interpreter and platform for an agent-oriented programming language called Jason.

Moise and NPL

Organisational model and Normative Programming Language

Developed in a collaboration of ENS Mines of Saint Etienne (France), University of São Paulo (Brazil), and University of Santa Catarina (Brazil). The objective is to develop an organisational model that allows the programming of several dimensions of the organisation of a multi-agent system, e.g., structure, functioning, norms, and context.
