Abstract

In order to use agent technology for implementing complex software systems, widely available software platforms are as crucial as methods to support their interoperability. The paper discusses the concepts of a system that combines the benefits of the two most accepted standards in the agent world, namely FIPA and MASIF, into a platform that permits the interac tion as well as migration of agents from both worlds. Additionally, an implementation based on the FIPA OS implementation of the FIPA standard is described.
