1: 1 Jadex Add-ons
2: 
3: The basic Jadex software package already includes the BDI reasoning
4: engine along with several tools. This site presents and describes further
5: tools and extensions that have been built for the development with Jadex.
6: These add-ons are not available for direct download, because some of
7: them are only availble under a more restrictive license than LGPL. 
8: If you are interested in an add-on please contact us per email. For non-commercial
9: use of course all add-ons are freely available. In the following the different 
10: add-ons are presented.

23: There are currently no add-ons for Jadex V2 available.

27: 1.1.1 Expression Compiler
28: 
29: *The expression compiler is a fast alternative to normal Jadex expression interpreter.* 
30: It is based on [Janino>http://www.janino.net/] and
31: allows to compile Java expressions on demand at runtime. The expression
32: compiler can be used to further improve the performance of agents significantly. 
33: In addition to the *faster evaluation of expressions* the Jadex expression compiler 
34: add-on also provides the possibility to *define inline plan bodies*. 
35: This means that a whole agent can be programmed in one XML file without any additional
36: plan classes. The add-on includes also a precompiler tool that allows to generate precompiled 
37: expression files for ADFs that are stored on disk. Using the tool avoids the need for runtime 
38: compilations of expressions that would delay the first agent execution otherwise.

48: 1.1.1 Web-bridge Solution
49: 
50: <strong>The Web-bridge tool builds a bridge between agent-oriented applications and web-based
51: frontends</strong>. 
52: For this purpose the state-of-the-art Java Servlet technology is connected
53: transparently with the Jadex platform. This means that a web-designer responsible
54: for creating user interfaces and interactions has nothing to know about the agent technology
55: used at the business layer. On the other hand web requests are mapped to agent 
56: messages on the agent layer allowing agent programmers to handle web requests
57: exactly as goals.
58: Web-bridge includes an example J2EE application that may be used and extended for own projects
59: incorporating direct access from Java Server Pages to an agent container. It provides a
60: complete multi-tier architecture. The front-end is based on standard J2EE technologies situated in a
61: servlet container and the application tier is based on agent technology.
62: A simple web application based on the puzzle example is available for online testing.

84: 1.1.1 Windows Service Wrapper
85: 
86: The service wrapper allows to *run the Jadex platform as a Windows service*.
87: It is based on the [Java Service Wrapper>http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org].

89: 1.1.1 Planner
90: <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top">
91: *Jadex is available in an extended version with an integrated high-speed state-of-the-art planner*,
92: as for certain problem domains reactive planning cannot deliver the best achievable solution. 
93: Instead planning from first principles should be used.  The planner can be called from jadex plans 
94: and works on agent beliefs evaluating future states
95: and possible solutions for a given problem. The planning problem, given by agent beliefs 
96: and goals, requires a solution composed from actions available to the agent.
97: The design priorities for the planner have been speed and real-time dynamics. 
98: To achieve a satisfying performance the  planner is able to utilize domain specific knowledge in form of 
99: search control rules, heuristic and complex action preconditions.

112: 1.1.1 Diet Agent Adapter (experimental)
113: 
114: Besides the JADE and Standalone adapter an <strong>experimental adapter
115: for the [Diet platform>http://diet-agents.sourceforge.net/]</strong>
116: has been developed. It shows the applicability of Jadex even running
117: on fundamentally different middleware platforms. The adapter is still 
118: experimental as it has not reached a level of maturity yet and also does 
119: not explore the full potential of the Diet platform. Nonetheless, we could
120: achieve that all examples bundled with the normal Jadex release are
121: executable under every adapter including Diet without changes.
