The AgentFactory Framework Files

UPDATE: afse-1.8.1.jar (05/07/2011)

This update includes minor bug fixes + the reintegration of the AF-RMA codebase (updated and fixed for new infrastructure).

UPDATE: afse-1.8.0.jar (14/06/2011)

We have skipped a few releases. This update includes:

- the new inheritance mechanism for AF-AgentSpeak and AF-TR;
- additional plan operators (durative, when, query);
- the introduction of the idea of an "active action", which is basically an action that can update the variable bindings
  on the plan stack.
- Migration to EIS0.3
- general bug fixes and refactorings.

UPDATE: afse-1.6.1.jar

While there is no significant change in core functionality, this new version is still a reasonably significant update to
AFSE. Specifically, the focus has been on:

- improving the grammar and parsing of plans for the CLF planning component (the changes are afaik backwards
  compatible). an example of the improvements is if statements:

  old model: if (?x < 4) { .println("small") } else { if (?x < 7) .println("medium") } else { .println("large") } }

  new model: if (?x < 4) .println("small") else if (?x < 7) .println("medium") else .println("large")

  change: code is more like C/Java (i.e. you don't need the curly brackets).

- removal of library plugin and integration of functionality with core plugin (this removes the bug that
  the libraries are not installed until an agent program file is opened)

- introduction of a block plan step for the CLF planner component (this better models the structure of the
  language than the previous impl.)

- changing of the jar file name to afse-X.X.X.jar to reflect the ongoing restructuring in which afse and
  afme are given more equal status (previously, AFSE was simply called Agent Factory) - this change has
  also been introduced for the eclipse plugin.



UPDATE: AF-Library-1.5.2.jar

This file is an incremental update to version 1.5.1 that includes bug fixes, and some additional functionality:

- Introduction of a configurable Service Inspector for the Agent Factory Debugger.
  Details of how to use this with AF-AgentSpeak can be found here:
    http://www.agentfactory.com/index.php/AF-AgentSpeak#Debugging_the_Service

- Introduction of DefaultRunConfiguration / DebuggerRunConfiguration classes to simplify the configuration of agent platform (again, see above URL)



UPDATE: AF-Library-1.5.1.jar

The AFLibrary-1.5.1.jar file contains the full Agent Factory distribution (inc. source code)

This is the same code base as is provided with version 1.5.1 of the Eclipse plugin.

To use this plugin, all you need to do is include it in the classpath of your project. 

For example:

java -cp .:AFLibrary-1.5.1.jar MyMainClass
