HI, i aplogize for the delayed reply, I miss your email for a while.. Basically WADE allows to run a Workflow Engine Agent on a JVM (currently JavaSE and JavaME Personal Profile ). A Workflow Engine Agent is a Jade agent capable of executing workflow in the shape of jade Behaviour that you can generate by means of a Service Creation Environment (an eclipse plugin which allows to draw workflows that consist of activities and transictions between activities ) and that you can inject into your agent dynamically at runtime As a matter of fact we are currently working on the porting of wade to android platform As an example you can check the demo application delivered with wade that consists of a couple of agents (a seller and a buyer) that interacts in order to trade books. The buyer logic is implemented with a workflow and the buyer agent is a WorkflowEngineAgent You can imagine a pool of sellers running on a server and many buyer agents running on mobile phones able to connect to the server and to start trading Using a wade workflow allows to change the buyer logic on a mobile phone without any change or any re-deployment of the application WADE can be a good option when you need to update your business logic without upgrading your application, particularly when your business logic consist of coordinating building blocks already deployed with your software (that building blocks are called "application" in the WADE termonology ) In a word JADE + WADE means peer to peer capability + workflow capabilitity
The capability to inject new logic in an agent at runtime as a workflow can be seen something like to update an OSGI bundle that incapsulate your business logic of your application. Let me know if you have more question and if you think that it can be a promising option on the mobile world and specifically on the Android platform Regards Marco On 6 Mag, 17:57, Biosopher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Interesting.
