I'm not much on Agent Technology these days, even though I did play around a bit with FIPA way back when. We even did something similar to what you're describing but the powers that be managed to make it really, really complicated. Regardless, we did get it running without actually using FIPA, ev

JESS: doubts on basic usage of Jess from Java

2003-04-02 Thread Xavier Noria
I'm reading Jess' manual to get an idea about how it works and whether it would be of interest in an agent-based simulation we are developing. We are writing a prototype in Java, the idea is that Jess would be used to implement part of the behavior of agents somehow. Everything is new for me an
