Brainstorm/J: a Java Framework for Intelligent Agents
Alejandro Zunino, Analia Amandi

TL;DR
Brainstorm/J is a flexible Java framework that provides a generic, reusable infrastructure for developing a wide range of multi-agent systems, addressing the limitations of domain-specific tools.
Contribution
It introduces a generic, object-oriented framework for agent development that supports broader application scopes than previous specialized tools.
Findings
Supports diverse MAS applications
Flexible and reusable framework
Implemented as an object-oriented system
Abstract
Despite the effort of many researchers in the area of multi-agent systems (MAS) for designing and programming agents, a few years ago the research community began to take into account that common features among different MAS exists. Based on these common features, several tools have tackled the problem of agent development on specific application domains or specific types of agents. As a consequence, their scope is restricted to a subset of the huge application domain of MAS. In this paper we propose a generic infrastructure for programming agents whose name is Brainstorm/J. The infrastructure has been implemented as an object oriented framework. As a consequence, our approach supports a broader scope of MAS applications than previous efforts, being flexible and reusable.
