Abstract. This paper draws a perspective about a software platform for multi-agent systems, called JADE. JADE is an Open-Source Java middleware very popular in the MAS research and development community, counting a lively and active user base. Here we will describe the JADE architecture, the main features provided by the platform, and some application domains from the Open Source community.

LEAP is a runtime environment for deploying agents on a network of Java-enabled devices. It complies with FIPA international standards for multiagent systems.
