The FIPA Initiative for Standardisation in Agents

The rapid expansion of the Internet has lead to an increase in the commercial use of intelligent agent technology. This in turn requires the development of standards for communication among agents to ensure interoperability in industrial applications. This articles provides an overview of the organisation, recent results and current work of the standardisation initiative Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA). The goal of FIPA is "[to] identify and select usable specifications of agent technology in a timely fashion“. This is accomplished through an open international cooperation, the incorporation of existing standards as well as the verification of the usefulness of the specifications via concrete field trials.
