Tryllian Agent Development Kit features mobile software agents

The new Agent Development Kit (ADK) from Tryllian enables Java developers to build and use mobile software agents to autonomously conduct tasks in an open Web environment. The software development model can be integrated with existing legacy systems, and it enables users to create a unified and personalized interface. The mobile software agents can travel from any software platform to another, such as from a mobile phone to an enterprise Internet database. The Tryllian ADK scales to any size and number of clients and servers, and has state-of-the-art security features. Developers can use the ADK toolkit to enable online order fulfillment and to build object-oriented applications. ADK mobile software agents conduct tasks independently.

The Tryllian Agent Development Kit is available now.
