Agent Oriented Programming Based on SLABS

SLABS is a formal specification language designed for modular and composable specification of multi-agent systems. This paper reports our attempts to support SLABS at the level of programming languages. An programming language, SLABSp, is presented to support two distinguished mechanisms, namely caste and scenario, in caste-centric methodology of agent-oriented software development. Based on Java platform, the SLABSp has been implemented by compiling the programs into Java with the multi-agent runtime environment.
