Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agentshttp://www.fipa.org James Odell, Acting Chair Fipa-chair@ieee.org www.jamesodell.com The IEEE Computer SocietyFIPA Standards Committee (SC)
Vision • To produce technology standards that apply to the development of agents and agent-based systems • To reuse other standards, as appropriate • To migrate existing standards to IEEE Major underlying goals: To be marketplace driven - What does the market want? To be implementor driven - What do vendors and actual developers need/want?
FIPA History: Milestones • 1995: FIPA Root formed • 1997: FIPA focus along dimensions of agent management, message transport & ACL – 1st set of 7 specifications with subsequent implementations • 2004: 25 specs standardized (14 in “experimental” status) • 2005: FIPA becomes 11th Computer Society Standards Committee
Current Working and Study Groups All are leading up to filing PARS by February 2006 • Agents and Web Services Interoperability Working Group (FIPA-AWSI-WG@IEEE.ORG) • Human-Agent Communications Working Group (FIPA-HAC-WG@IEEE.ORG) • Mobile Agents Working Group (FIPA-MA-WG@IEEE.ORG) • P2P Nomadic Agents Working Group (FIPA-P2PNA-WG@IEEE.ORG) • Review of FIPA Specification Study Group (FIPA-ROFS-SG@IEEE.ORG)
Status • P&P developed and approved. • Website and LISTSERVs established • Working groups set up and active • Bank account set up • Membership drive to begin next month
