Some Remarks on the Semantics of FIPA's Agent Communication Language

The Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA) standardisation body has produced a set of specifications outlining a generic model for the architecture and operation of agent-based systems. The FIPA'97 Specification Part 2 is the normative specification of an Agent Communication Language (ACL) which agents use to talk to each other. The FIPA ACL is based on speech act theory. Its syntax is defined by performatives parameterised by attribute value pairs, while its semantics is given in terms of the mental states of the communicating agents (i.e. intentionality). However, it is not clear if the formal semantics is meant as a normative or informative specification. The primary purpose of this paper is then to give an expository analysis of the FIPA ACL semantics to clarify this situation. We also offer some guidelines motivated from our own analysis, experience and understanding of how the semantic definitions and logical axioms should be interpreted and applied. However, our conclusion is that while the FIPA ACL specification offers significant potential to a developer using it for guidance, there are limitations on using an agent's mental state to specify the meaning of a performative as part of a normative standard. We consider some possibilities for making improvements in this direction.     

Developing multi‐agent systems with a FIPA‐compliant agent framework

To ease large‐scale realization of agent applications there is an urgent need for frameworks, methodologies and toolkits that support the effective development of agent systems. Moreover, since one of the main tasks for which agent systems were invented is the integration between heterogeneous software, independently developed agents should be able to interact successfully. In this paper, we present JADE (Java Agent Development Environment), a software framework to build agent systems for the management of networked information resources in compliance with the FIPA specifications for inter‐operable intelligent multi‐agent systems. The goal of JADE is to simplify development while ensuring standard compliance through a comprehensive set of system services and agents. JADE can then be considered to be an agent middle‐ware that implements an efficient agent platform and supports the development of multi‐agent systems. It deals with all the aspects that are not peculiar to agent internals and that are independent of the applications, such as message transport, encoding and parsing, or agent life‐cycle management.
