Today, multi-agent systems (MAS) play an important role in the information technology. To develop these systems requires the developer to deal with several issues and to implement many of the system components, such as protocols, name services and agents' functionalities. Although, there are several agent building toolkits that can help developers to effectively develop MAS and allow them to focus more on the application specific domains, it is difficult for developers to select the appropriate one. This paper provides an evaluation of Java Agent Development (Jade) framework, Zeus Agent Building Toolkit (Zeus) and JACK Intelligent System (Jack); with special focus on the following main criteria: Java support, performance evaluation, development support and performance on message transport system.
