FIPA is an international organization formed by companies and academic institutions, with the aim of producing software standards for heterogeneous and interacting Agents and Agent-based systems. FIPA specifications includes five parts: Abstract Architecture, Agent Message Transport,Agent Management, Agent Communication, and Agent Applications. Each FIPA specification is in a life cycle, and it will finally reach the standard state or obsolete state.
