Multi-Agent system in Ruby?

[martinus]

Hi! recently I have started working with Multi-agent systems (Jade,
written in Java), and while multi-agent systems are pretty cool, it is
not an easy way to write applications. I am playing with the idea of
writing a simple multi-agent system in Ruby, just to learn more about
this topic. So, does any multi-agent system exist that is written in
Ruby?

If I read the wikipedia
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-agent_system] correctly it is a bit
like Jini, right? Then maybe Rinda
[http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/rinda/rdoc/index.html] would be
up that alley?

Anyone else?

If you google "multi agent system ruby" you'll probably find a few
things.
Also, this: http://dnssd.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl
can be used for discovery ( an important part of every multi agent
system, right .
