A Survey on Multiagent Programming Languages and Frameworks

Agent Oriented Programming is a relatively new software paradigm that brings concepts from the theories of artificial intelligence into the mainstreamrealm of distributed systems. The agent-oriented software engineering paradigm provides social and cognitive concepts and abstractions in terms of whichsoftware systems can be specified, designed, and implemented. The multi-agent systems (MAS) paradigmis one of the most important and promising approachesto occur in computer science during the 90s.However, for an effective use of the agent technology in real lifeapplications, specific programming languages are required. Existing BDI-based agent-oriented programming languages such as Jason , Jack , Jadex,2APL, 3APL , KGP, Minerva , Obliq, CLAIM , AEC (An Event-Condition-Action languages ), MetateM and the family of Golog languages are designed to implement agents in terms of BDI concepts. Here we have a survey on mentioned agent programming languages and related framework.
