“…JADE's support for monitoring and management of the run-time applications is provided through environment agents. Multi-Agent Environment [24] is another environment for multi-agent systems that lets the user start and kill agents in the run-time environment, send messages to the agents, and so on. IBM's SOA Foundation Architecture [25], Websphere, is an environment for service-oriented architectures.…”

SUMMARYTraditionally, software development environments have tended to treat a system's development-time activities separately from its run-time. After a system is in operation, it frequently needs to be maintained and evolved. In traditional environments, this results in frequent relocations of a system between the disjoint development and run-time environments, which is undesirable for several reasons. A more effective solution is to couple the development and run-time environments to directly monitor and adapt running systems. Given the growing need for interaction between development-time and run-time aspects of modern software systems, it is important to understand development and run-time environments, and their relationship. To this end, we study and classify a wide range of software development environments on the basis of their level of interaction with the corresponding run-time environments. Particularly, we identify, study, and characterize Self-Adaptive Life-cycle Environments (SALEs), an emerging class of modern development environments that are tightly integrated with run-time environments. We reify our study of the development environments into a novel reference architecture, iDARE, that captures and differentiates the architectures of software environments -from those, such as traditional development environments, that have no interaction with the run-time environments, to the ones, such as SALEs, that are tightly integrated with the run-time environments. We use iDARE to highlight several shortcomings of existing SALEs. Adherence to iDARE has the potential to improve certain quality properties of the integrated development and run-time environments, such as adaptability, fault-tolerance, robustness, availability, and resource consumption. We identify a number of opportunities for future research.

In information age, both governments and enterprises need intelligent platform to provide dynamic, real-time intelligent information processing service. This paper describes an Agent Grid based Intelligent Platform AGrIP to support service layer information processing. AGrIP integrates a comprehensive set of tools to compose a whole platform that will enable straightforward management of large-scale information from Internet and then apply data mining, case base reasoning and expert system to aid practical enterprise applications.

In this paper, we propose a hierarchical agent development toolkit-VAStudio. It is composed with legacy component layer, behavior layer, agent layer and society layer. Through the structure, it can facilitate software reuse and rapidly develop multi-agent system. We use it as the main developing toolkit for various multi-agent applications, which include the agent based, distributed data mining and flood decision support system etc.
