In this technical report, the authors propose an abstract framework, called ADF (Agent Developing Framework), to be used indesigning and implementation stages of building (mobile) agents within a multi-agent architecture. We also investigate the possibility of developing, in a generic manner, different components to be integrated into agent applications.

The ADF framework consists of a hierarchy of classes (structured as a Java package) and a visual developing tool. The proposed API offers the core functionalities of an agent-oriented system (e.g., agents, hosts, name service, migration, and messaging).
