FIPA Working Group onHuman-Agent Communication John Yen School of Information Sciences and Technology The Pennsylvania State University USA
Objectives • To extend the current FIPA standards for human-agent interactions. • The initial focus is on human-agent communications in the context of decision makings. • Other contexts and broader issues of human-agent interactions will be considered in future years.
Participation • A list serve will be established for the WG. • Will also look into the possibility of setting up a Web-based collaboration environment for the WG.
Documents Generated • The working group is expected to generate a standard document regarding an additional set of FIPA performatives.
Technology • The effort will be built upon published relevant research results regarding agent communication languages and their semantics.
Plan and Milestones for Year 1 • [1 month] Elect officers. Solicit proposed extensions to ACL for human-agent communications. • [2 month] Distribute the set of proposed extensions to the WG for comments. • [3 month] Decides the set of performatives to be included in the proposal. • [4-5 months] Refines the semantics of the proposed performatives. • [6 month] Proposes to IEEE FIPA SC a set of performatives for human agent communications. • [7-8 month] Working with FIPA, addresses comments, decides to adopt “friendly amendments”. • [9 month] FIPA votes on the proposed standard. • [10-12 month] If approved by FIPA, works with IEEE Standard Activities to provide relevant information or needed support to turn it into an IEEE standard document, • [12 month] Solicit inputs regarding the direction for year 2 activities.
