Dedale aims to facilitate and improve the experimental evaluation conditions of MAS algorithms and to contribute to the progress of the field towards decentralised solutions able to deal with real-world situations. Dedale is dedicated to the study of multi-agents coordination, learning and decision-making problems under real-life hypotheses. Dedale offers open, dynamic, asynchronous and partially observable environments. It allows to tackle either cooperative or competitive exploration, patrolling, pickup and delivery, treasure(s) or agent(s) hunt problems with teams from one to dozens of heterogeneous agents in discrete or continuous environments. These strengths make Dedale able to become a unifying environment for both MAS research and teaching communities in their goal to work and evaluate their proposals under realistic hypotheses.

JADE : The Java Agent DEvelopment framework
JADE (Java Agent DEvelopment Framework) is an open source platform for peer-to-peer agent based applications.
JADE simplifies the implementation of multi-agent systems through a middleware that complies with the FIPA specifications for interoperable intelligent multi-agent systems.
JADE provides a simple yet powerful task execution and composition model, peer-to-peer agent communication based on asynchronous message passing, a yellow pages service supporting publish subscribe discovery mechanism and many other advanced features that facilitates the development of distributed systems.
A JADE-based system can be distributed across the internet and can tranparently deploy agents on Android and J2ME-CLDC MIDP 1.0 devices. The platform configuration as well as the agent number and locations can be changed at run-time, as and when required.
