The Edustructures® SIFWorks® Agent Development Kit (ADK®)
| Edustructures' professional–grade framework for SIF Agent development | | |
|
For pK–12 application vendors and districts that have developed custom software applications, the SIFWorks ADK® is the professional–grade developer's tool for creating sophisticated, robust SIF agents. By freeing software developers to concentrate on the integration logic and data management specific to their application, the SIFWorks ADK greatly accelerates agent development time.
| | |
|
The ADK is available for both Java and .NET developers and delivers the following key benefits: | | |
Reduced Complexity of Agent Development
| The SIFWorks ADK is built on a high–level class framework of over 700 classes and an embedded Agent runtime. This framework allows developers to focus on the core business logic of their application—rather than SIF infrastructure details—when writing the SIF agent. | | |
Cost Effective
| The ADK requires no additional third–party components or external services. The ADK is Royalty Free, with no redistribution license fees. Purchase of the ADK includes one (1) year of software updates and three (3) tech support incidents per year. Additionally the industry–leading SIFWorks enterprise ZIS is included for in–house testing of your agents. | | |
Robust Capabilities
| The SIFWorks ADK includes a full suite of SIF Data Objects (SDO) classes, (both approved and draft Objects) and supports multi–zone messaging so that your agent can scale for district–wide deployments. The included capabilities of the ADK help you build highly customizable SIF Agents that can be installed in any SIF environment regardless of the other agents participating in the SIF Zone. | | |
SIFWorks ADK Features:
- SIF Compliant. works in mixed SIF version environments: compatible with any ZIS.
- Data Mapping. Helps convert between SQL and SIF and map SIF data to application data fields.
- Publish and Subscribe. SIF Data Objects can be published, subscribed to, or both by ADK–based agents.
- Multiple SIF Zone Support. Unlimited simultaneous zones supported.
- Languages. Java (1.5 or 1.4), or any .NET language.
