Systematic Review on JADE Extensions for Building Agent-Based Intelligent Ecosystems
Palabras clave:
english
Resumen
Los agentes de software son entidades fundamentales en el desarrollo de sistemas distribuidos reactivos inteligentes. Para el desarrollo de este tipo de entidades se han propuesto varias herramientas como lenguajes de programación, marcos de trabajo y plataformas. Sin embargo, pocas de estas herramientas han sido efectivamente adoptadas y mantenidas. La herramienta JADE es considerada como el marco de trabajo más prometedor entre los programadores de sistemas multiagente y lleva muchos años evolucionando. Por ello, en este trabajo se realiza una revisión sistemática de la literatura cuyo objetivo es identificar las principales propuestas de extensión de JADE desarrolladas para la creación de sistemas inteligentes basados en agentes en distintos dominios. Se evidenció que las principales áreas en las que se extendió el marco JADE fueron: el comercio electrónico, la inteligencia ambiental, el Internet de las cosas, la industria y redes inteligentes. Asimismo, se identificó que las principales características soportadas dentro de los marcos extendidos propuestos estaban orientadas principalmente a cubrir aspectos no contemplados por JADE, tales como: tiempo real, componentes deliberativos, razonamiento semántico, orientado a servicios, colaboración, flujos de trabajo y normas.
