E-JAMAS - http://bigfoot.uib.no/projects/studprojects/jamas/
- Otto Helge Nygård The E-JAMAS plug-in, developed as part of the JAMAS project, tries to assist distributed programmers in coordinating parallel development of Java code using agent technology. The plug-in provides a coordination mechanism by extending existing functionality to present co-workers with a larger degree of awareness regarding local workspace changes on common code in real-time and peer-to-peer. The foundation for the Java Awareness Multi-Agent System (JAMAS) project is the need for awareness related to programmer's activities around common code. The objective is to provide a decentralized multi-agent system (MAS) which will aid participants in distributed programming activities getting information about events on common code. The research context is Agent Supported Cooperative Work. The current result of this work is: (1) JAMAS (Java Awareness Multi-Agent System) a platform independent framework developed using JADE (Java Agent DEvelopment Framework) as middleware. (2) E-JAMAS a Eclipse plug-in and coordination tool that implements this framework and provide the features by extending the Eclipse platform. |
