here's an older report reviewing a number of platforms
(ZEUS, JADE, FIPA OS, JKQML, JATLite and Grasshopper):

here's a younger one that mentions a larger number of
platforms but doesn't describe them in much detail:

another one:
http://www.business.mcmaster.ca/msis/profs/detlorb/nserc/McMaster_Working_Paper_\
455.pdf

these results (except the second, which is blatant
self-promoting ;-) were found quite easily using
google and queries including keywords like review,
jade, zeus, fipa, etc. so you should quickly be able
to find more, using these keywords and others you
might find in your search results...

hope this helps,
cheers, tomas klos.

p.s.: if you end up writing a (by definition, recent)
review yourself, would you mind considering posting it
back to the list, please?
