Connecting JADE and MATLAB/Simulink for Multi-agent Simulations

This article will explore different approaches to connecting JADE ( Official Website ) (Java Agent Development Framework) with MATLAB/Simulink for multi-agent simulations. By integrating these two powerful tools, we can create comprehensive simulations of multi-agent systems.  I first encountered this problem of connecting JADE with MATLAB in 2018-2019 while doing my master's project. It was not my own project but one of my friends' projects required this functionality to be implemented. The project was to develop a system that can do several control functions of a microgrid. In the research area of muti-agent control for microgrids, this method of connecting JADE with MATAB/Simulink was the most common way to implement it. He finally achieved this using one of the methods discussed here and published his work at an international conference. Also, during 2021-2022 I encountered the same problem but I needed a more robust approach compared to his since this time the simulation w...
