JADE was originally developed by Telecom Italia and is distributed as free software.

This sector is the R & D branch of Telecom Italia Group which is responsible for promoting technological innovation.

In 2021, the team that successfully developed JADE announced that they could not continue to work on it anymore.

Each platform must have a parent container that has two special agents called AMS and DF.

To access the DF agent the class "jade.domain.DFService" and its static methods are used: register, deregister, modify and Search.

In this method, you have to pass an object of type ACLMessage that contains the recipient information, language, coding and content of the message.

In both methods, you can make filtering messages to be retrieved from the queue by setting different templates.
