|
|
<p>This is a sample application that uses JADE for message exchange and
|
|
for the implementation of the interaction protocols.
|
|
<br>It implements a meeting scheduler agent that helps a user in scheduling
|
|
meetings with other users.
|
|
<br>This sample application is based on the one that was successfully used at the FIPA Interoperability
|
|
Tests in Seoul on January 1999.
|
|
<p>It allows to try and check:
|
|
<blockquote>- the registration of an agent with the default DF (Directory
|
|
Facilitator) of the platform;
|
|
<br>- the registration of an agent with a remote DF belonging to another
|
|
platform or, different from the default DF;
|
|
<br>- the search within the known DFs for a list of agents and their properties,
|
|
in particular the list of MeetingScheduler agents and the name of the user
|
|
that they represent;
|
|
<br>- the usage of the FipaContractNet protocol, both the initiator and
|
|
responder role.</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p><br>The source code was written a bit in an hurry, but some files may
|
|
help you with some examples:
|
|
<br>- demo/MeetingScheduler/myFipaContractNetInitiatorBehaviour.java extends
|
|
the JADE class jade.proto.FipaContractNetInitiatorBehaviour with some application-specific
|
|
code;
|
|
<br>- demo/MeetingScheduler/myFipaContractNetResponderBehaviour.java extends
|
|
the JADE class jade.proto.FipaContractNetResponder Behaviour with some
|
|
application-specific code.</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<br>When the two agents start, two login windows appears. Put different
|
|
user names (the password is not used, currently), e.g. "Tizio" and "Caio".
|
|
<br>Then, use the calendar window of Tizio to fix a couple of appointments
|
|
in different dates (notice that only the day is used and not the month)
|
|
with different descriptions. Let's say, for instance, that Tizio has fixed
|
|
two appointments for the 1st and the 2nd.
|
|
<br>Switch then to the calendar window of Caio. From the directory menu,
|
|
execute the item "Update known persons with the facilitator" such that
|
|
Caio comes to know about Tizio existance. Use the calendar window of Caio
|
|
to fix an appointment with Tizio between 1st and 4th. The ContractNet protocol
|
|
should be then executed and both agents should converge to the date 3rd.
