Foreword
The Foundation for Intelligent
Physical Agents (FIPA) is an international organization that is dedicated to
promoting the industry of intelligent agents by openly developing
specifications supporting interoperability among agents and agent-based
applications. This occurs through open collaboration among its member
organizations, which are companies and universities that are active in the
field of agents. FIPA makes the results of its activities available to all
interested parties and intends to contribute its results to the appropriate
formal standards bodies.
The members of FIPA are individually
and collectively committed to open competition in the development of
agent-based applications, services and equipment. Membership in FIPA is open to
any corporation and individual firm, partnership, governmental body or
international organization without restriction. In particular, members are not
bound to implement or use specific agent-based standards, recommendations and
FIPA specifications by virtue of their participation in FIPA.
The FIPA specifications are
developed through direct involvement of the FIPA membership. The status of a
specification can be either Preliminary, Experimental, Standard, Deprecated or
Obsolete. More detail about the
process of specification may be found in the FIPA Procedures for Technical
Work. A complete overview of the FIPA specifications and their current status
may be found in the FIPA List of Specifications. A list of terms and
abbreviations used in the FIPA specifications may be found in the FIPA
Glossary.
FIPA is a non-profit association
registered in Geneva, Switzerland. As of January 2000, the 56 members of FIPA
represented 17 countries worldwide.
