  13. <p>This is a sample application that uses JADE for message exchange and
    14. 

  14. for the implementation of the interaction protocols.
    15. 

  15. <br>It implements a meeting scheduler agent that helps a user in scheduling
    16. 

  16. meetings with other users.
    17. 

  17. <br>This sample application is based on the one that was successfully used at the FIPA Interoperability
    18. 

  18. Tests in Seoul on January 1999.
    19. 

  19. <p>It allows to try and check:
    20. 

  20. <blockquote>- the registration of an agent with the default DF (Directory
    21. 

  21. Facilitator) of the platform;
    22. 

  22. <br>- the registration of an agent with a remote DF belonging to another
    23. 

  23. platform or, different from the default DF;
    24. 

  24. <br>- the search within the known DFs for a list of agents and their properties,
    25. 

  25. in particular the list of MeetingScheduler agents and the name of the user
    26. 

  26. that they represent;
    27. 

  27. <br>- the usage of the FipaContractNet protocol, both the initiator and
    28. 

  28. responder role.</blockquote>
    29.

  30. <p><br>The source code was written a bit in an hurry, but some files may
    31. 

  31. help you with some examples:
    32. 

  32. <br>- demo/MeetingScheduler/myFipaContractNetInitiatorBehaviour.java extends
    33. 

  33. the JADE class jade.proto.FipaContractNetInitiatorBehaviour with some application-specific
    34. 

  34. code;
    35. 

  35. <br>- demo/MeetingScheduler/myFipaContractNetResponderBehaviour.java extends
    36. 

  36. the JADE class jade.proto.FipaContractNetResponder Behaviour with some
    37. 

  37. application-specific code.</blockquote>
    38. 

  38. 

  39. <br>When the two agents start, two login windows appears. Put different
    40. 

  40. user names (the password is not used, currently), e.g. "Tizio" and "Caio".
    41. 

  41. <br>Then, use the calendar window of Tizio to fix a couple of appointments
    42. 

  42. in different dates (notice that only the day is used and not the month)
    43. 

  43. with different descriptions. Let's say, for instance, that Tizio has fixed
    44. 

  44. two appointments for the 1st and the 2nd.
    45. 

  45. <br>Switch then to the calendar window of Caio. From the directory menu,
    46. 

  46. execute the item "Update known persons with the facilitator" such that
    47. 

  47. Caio comes to know about Tizio existance. Use the calendar window of Caio
    48. 

  48. to fix an appointment with Tizio between 1st and 4th. The ContractNet protocol
    49. 

  49. should be then executed and both agents should converge to the date 3rd.
