Agent Oriented Software
Agent Oriented Software provides innovative products using JACK™ Intelligent Agents
Agent Oriented Software Pty Ltd (AOS) provides a number of advanced products using the innovative technology of intelligent software agents. Its primary markets are:
Aerospace & defence:
• ICAMS – Intelligent decision support for corrosion & fatigue prediction • Intelligent, autonomous vehicle management • Intelligent air mission planning & operational analysis • Intelligent synthetic forces for military training
Enterprise systems:
• Oil & gas industry decision support systems • Financial industry decision support, including CRM support systems
AOS is located in Melbourne and Adelaide, with Agent Oriented Software Limited in Cambridge, UK and Agent Oriented Software, Inc. in Annapolis, MD. AOS’s customer base includes BAE Systems, US Space Industry, Toshiba Japan, UK Ministry of Defence, US Air Force, Canadian Department of National Defence, Dassault Aviation France, QinetiQ Limited, and Australian Department of Defence.
These are based upon the Company’s JACK™ Intelligent Agents toolset, developed and marketed by AOS since 1998. JACK is an environment for building, running and integrating commercial-grade multi-agent systems using a component-based approach.
JACK is implemented in Java, and the JACK Agent Language extends Java with constructs for agent characteristics such as plans and events. JACK agents can be run on one CPU, or distributed among multiple CPUs on a LAN, WAN, or the Internet. JACK agents are lightweight and take advantage of the efficient Java multi-threading environment.
JACK includes facilities for the creation of intelligent team behaviour through the advanced JACK Teams model, the first commercial product to provide this capability.
JACK is a third generation agent system, built by a team of agent experts who have worked on two previous generations of agent systems – PRS and dMARS. JACK reflects its decade of development by a small computational footprint (JACK runs on a PDA) and efficient, component-based design to ease integration with other software
JACK Intelligent Agents™ is an environment for building, running and integrating commercial-grade multi-agent systems using a component-based approach. JACK agents are used to model intelligent behaviours in simulation, as intelligent assistants to humans carrying out complex tasks, as controllers for autonomous robotic vehicles and intelligent manufacturing systems.

JACK is a commercial product. Unlike the experimental agent systems available free to researchers, JACK features commercial product design and support standards, with new releases about every six months.
