An Introduction to the JADEL Programming Language

This paper summarizes the current state of development of JADEL, a novel programming language that eases the implementation of agents and multi-agent systems. First, the introduction of a novel agent programming language is motivated and the approach that was used to design JADEL is presented. Then, the characteristic features of JADEL are described by means of a didactic example. The paper is concluded with a short discussion about current and planned developments of JADEL.
