Jason initially stood for `Java-based AgentSpeak interpreter used with SACI for multi-agent distribution over the net’. Since it not based only on SACI anymore (other infrastructures are available) and the acronyms was quite `forced’, we decided the use Jason as a proper name for the interpreter. The name is also somehow inspired by Jason in Greek mythology.
