JADE ANDROID ADD-ON GUIDE

Short Description
The main body of this guide focuses on the process of starting and configuring the JADE ANDROID add-on in order to connect to a running JADE-LEAP platform and to start a split Container with a Jade Agent on Android SDK. A dummy application (Dummy Agent) is also provided. Please refer to the API documentation for a complete description of the API that allow programmatic access to all features.

The possibility of combining the expressiveness of FIPA (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-topeer paradigms. The JADE-ANDROID add-on has been designed to support this kind of applications. By means of it an ANDROID application can easily embed a JADE agent and therefore become part of a wider distributed system possibly including other mobile devices (not necessarily ANDROID enabled). More in details the add-on provides an interface that allows the application to start a local agent, trigger behaviours and more in general exchange objects with it. It is therefore possible discover remote peers, carry out possibly complex conversations with them, exploit the JADE ontology support to handle structured messages, perform background activities according to the behaviour composition model and in general take advantage of all features of the JADE platform.-on in order to connect to a running JADE-LEAP platform and to start a split Container with a Jade Agent on Android SDK. A dummy application (Dummy Agent) is also provided. Please refer to the API documentation for a complete description of the API that allow programmatic access to all features.
In order to be compatible with the Dalvik JVM and to properly cope with the limitations and constraints of mobile devices and wireless networks, the add-on makes use of the JADE-LEAP version for JAVA CDC (or Personal Java) and the split-container execution mode (see Figure 1). This allows limiting communications over the wireless link as much as possible and obtaining very fast communication between mobile peers.
