Platform_Features

The features of the platform include:

• Decomposition of agent functionality into micro-agents (core concept of µ²)
  • Dynamic binding of agents
  • Addressing Patterns for inter-agent communication
• Efficient asynchronous message passing using two alternative message passing frameworks
  • Jetlang (faster - but creates a separate thread for each agent)
  • MicroFiber (slower - but operates with a static number of threads independent from number of agents)
• Clojure as alternative implementation language (along with Java)
• Distributed information systems via network
  • 3 serialization types (Java, compatibility version of Java, XML)
  • Network discovery of platforms
• Validation for messages
• Lazy initialization of platform components
