ADELFE Atelier de Développement de Logiciels à Fonctionnalité Emergente Toolkit to develop software with emergent functionality

 

Welcome to this "download" page (the url for the main page of ADELFE's web site is https://www.irit.fr/ADELFE), documents available are the following:

• the ADELFE Toolkit, the interactive tool to guide you when applying the ADELFE process     (zipped file, 5.5 Mo - "How to install it", you need jre 1.4.1_02). You can use the adequacy graphical tool is a separate way (see below).

 

• the javadoc associated to this tool, once uncompressed you'll obtain a hierarchy of HTML files describing the classes used to build the tool,     (zipped file, 753 Ko)

 

• a trial version of OpenTool/UML-1.4 for ADELFE. You will be able to link this tool to the previous interactive tool in order to draw the different UML and AUML diagrams needed during the design of yous AMAS     (exe file, 6.9 Mo - "How to install it"),

 

• the SPEM description of the process with this report "GLEIZES Marie-Pierre, MILLAN Thierry, PICARD Gauthier - ADELFE: Using SPEM Notation to Unify Agent Engineering Processes and Methodology - Rapport interne IRIT no IRIT/2003-10-R, June 2003"     (pdf, 234 Ko).

 


• You can also download:
  • the HTML entire description of the ADELFE process to consult it off-line     (zipped hierarchy of pages and pdf documents, 3 Mo),
  
  
  • the adequacy graphical tool as a zipped jar file - this tool is already included in the interactive tool     (3 Ko, to execute it you need jre 1.4.1_02).
  
  

You can consult the bibliography and obtain a certain number of articles by visiting the SMAC team pages for ADELFE "Projects section".

We are eager to know who is interested in ADELFE and uses it. So, if you download some tool, please let us know who you are and why you want to consult/use it by sending us a mail at Marie-Pierre.Gleizes@irit.fr.

If you have any problem with these pages, please e-mail to Carole.Bernon@irit.fr

How to install the interactive tool

Uncompress the zipped file and you'll obtain:

• a .bat file adelfeToolkitv1.2.bat the MS-DOS command file to launch the tool,
• a directory (adelfeToolkit) in which all the necessary files are placed:
• adelfeToolkitv1.2.jar: the Java archive that contains the Java byte-code for the ADELFE toolkit,
• a directory docs with the documents you can use under the toolkit,
• some files *adequation* used in the adequacy graphical tool,

To execute the ADELFE toolkit you need the Java Runtime Environment (jre 1.4.1_02).

After launching the toolkit, using the .bat file, the personal parameters of the user are memorized into the file config.properties under the config directory under the install directory.

After running it, the toolkit generates an history file adelfe.log.

How to install OpenTool/UML-1.4 for ADELFE

Just click on the OptlAdelfe_1_2_00_liv.exe file and follow the instructions (sorry, they are in French but we think you'll understand them).

By default, the executable file for OpenTool is placed under C:\Tni\Adelfe\bin.w32\opentool.exe but you can change this path and install the tool elsewhere.

A shortcut is also added in the Start Menu folder, as well as an uninstall option.

If you choose to install OpenTool in the default directory, the previous ADELFE toolkit is already configured to find and execute it when needed.

If you install OpenTool under another directory, you must make the link by yourself, change the directory via Edit-Parameter.

Then by clicking on the button, you'll launch this tool.

This software is an trial version. If you create more than 50 objects (class, diagram, ...), a message will be printed before each action.
