A Hands-on Intensive Workshop on agent development using JADE framework, organized by the Gerstner Laboratory. JADE (Java Agent DEvelopment framework) is runtime environment for development of FIPA compliant inter- operable agents. Currently in version 3.0, JADE is the most widely used agent development framework. JADE is open source, distributed under Lesser General Public License. The course is intended for people familiar with Java programming language and the basic concepts of multi-agent systems, who want to start developing agents using JADE. No prior experience with agent programming is needed. Each course participant receives a CD with JADE in- stallation, documentation and course material (slides and example source codes).

The course takes place in computer classroom with every participant having own computer (option to use personal laptop provided). We recommend pair programming. Every topic is covered by sample source codes, en- couraging the participants to exercise the knowledge y immediately playing around with the concepts. Participants receive a certificate of participation.
