Conclusion

Advantages

Fosters the development of reusable libraries



Relieve agent programmers from cross-domain implementation features


Automatic activation-deactivation of roles, management of interactions,
execution/observation of CAs, …
Close to component and connector architectures


ACL dialects (FIPA underlying interactions, …)
Protocol formalisms (e.g. Interaction State Machines, …)
Transfer of research (e.g. Architectural description languages)
Future work

On the RICA Theory


Metamodel extension, formal specification of the execution semantics, …
On the RICAJ framework

Further validation, J2SE 5.0 metadata features, monitoring of interactions, ….
