| Result type | Platform or platform component |
| Description/functionality |
- The agent based methodology allows the introduction of self-organisation, autonomy, flexibility, and robustness in service-oriented architectures. Interoperability is supported by explaining how general service-oriented architectures could be extended with these propterties.
- The Jack Intelligent Agent™ Development Environment (JDE) was adopted as a designing and runtime tool for the design and execution of Belief Desire Intention (BDI) agents and teams of such agents. In the context of ATHENA JDE was extended with a library for the integration with service-oriented architectures (Web Services). Additionally model to text transformations were investiagated to integrate JDE with the Eclipse modelling framework and with Rational Software Modeller.
