Abstract
Jackal is a Java-based tool for communication using the
KQML agent communication language. Some features that
make it extremely valuable to agent development are its conversation
management facilities, flexible, blackboard style
interface and ease of integration. Jackal has been developed
in support of an investigation of the use of agents
in enterprise-wide integration of planning and execution
for manufacturing. This paper describes Jackal at a surface
and design level, and demonstrates its use in a multiagent
system that supports intelligent integration of enterprise
planning and execution.
