                  for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA)
                  standardisation effort in the area of specifying
                  standards for heterogeneous, interoperating
                  agent-based systems. We describe the types of
                  software agents which are of interest to FIPA, the
                  methods by which FIPA members collaborate and
                  produce specifications and also descriptions of the
                  specifications that FIPA has produced. Also, we list
                  the available implementations of FIPA specifications
                  and applications that use these
                  implementations. Finally, we describe the current
                  and future work of FIPA.},
