Abstract

Intelligent agent technology has been raised as the primary technology in the intelligent Internet and mobile computing. In this paper, MAGE (multi-agent environment) is introduced which is an environment for rapidly developing distributed, heterogeneous multi-agent systems. Agent model, agent architecture, MAGE platforms, comparison between MAGE and other multi-agent framework is presented in the paper. This paper illustrates two application systems, such as e-business, parallel Web spider. The MAGE is written in Java and is a powerful tool to construct multi-agent systems for Internet applications.
