Janus version 3

Janus is the official SARL run-time environment.

The third version of Janus is completely rewritten in SARL programming language, and provides specific implementation optimizations.

Major differences between Janus 3 and Janus 2

The major differences with the version 2 (current official version) are:

1. Implementation language: SARL instead of Java
2. Use of the Bootique framework to make easier the booting process and the module extension by third parties.
3. Simplified framework architecture
   • Context becomes an AgentTrait
   • New implementation of the agent's lifecycle support (AgentLife and BehaviorLife)
   • New implementation of the Janus's event firing mechanism
   • New implementation of the execution service
   • Implementation of namespaces
   • Implementation of a probing mechanism
   • Network related features are removed in order to be proposed by a Janus extension
4. Optimization of the code to be faster.
5. Ready for a simulation oriented extension
