Jason agents in Java EE environments

Enterprise edition of the Java platform has been endorsed by small and large enterprises, as it enables the development of large-scale, reliable, and secure software solutions. On the other hand, Jason and AgentSpeak represent an excellent tool for implementing complex, reasoning agents. This paper proposes a framework that incorporates Jason agents into Java EE environments. By mapping agents to Enterprise JavaBeans, the framework is capable of deploying large populations of agents on a computer cluster. At the same time, it employs a modern enterprise application server for automated load-balancing, agent state replication and error recovery.
