SARL 0.3.0 is released
SARL is a general-purpose agent-oriented language.
SARL aims at providing the fundamental abstractions for dealing with concurrency, distribution, interaction, decentralization, reactivity, autonomy and dynamic reconfiguration. These high-level features are now considered as the major requirements for an easy and practical implementation of modern complex software applications. We are convinced that the agent-oriented paradigm holds the keys to effectively meet this challenge.
Considering the variety of existing approaches and meta-models in the field of agent-oriented engineering and more generally multi-agent systems, our approach remains as generic as possible and highly extensible to easily integrate new concepts and features. The language is platform- and architecture-independent.
However, we provide a first set of tools to support its execution based on the new version 2.0 of the Janus Platform, but it can be linked with other existing agent platforms and frameworks.
You're very welcome to give your feedback.
Major Features
- Major programming concepts: agent, behavior, capacity, skill, event.
- Intruitive communication mechanism through events/messages.
- Intruitive and extensible syntax.
- Fully distributed programming approach, e.g. an agent reacts in parallel to the different messages it is receiving.
- Fully distributed run-time environment, with zero-configuration approach.
