Advances in agent technology depend on improving frameworks for building and supporting agent societies. Experience suggests that first generation multi-agent systems fall short of providing a rapid prototyping development environment for the systematic construction and deployment of agent-oriented applications. While at least sixty different agent systems have been implemented, few efforts have been made to use them as case studies for building second-generation multi-agent systems. In this study we focus on evaluating the agent behavior execution units of FIPAOS, JADE, and Zeus with the intention of extracting reusable design elements to build a second-generation system.
