FIPA-OS is a publicly available Open Source community project that provides
an implementation of the FIPA open international standards for agent
interoperability. FIPA-OS was released in August 1999 as the first publicly
available, royalty-free implementation of FIPA technology. FIPA-OS is a 100%
pure Java component-based toolkit enabling rapid development of FIPA
compliant agents. FIPA-OS supports the majority of the FIPA Experimental
specifications and is being continuously improved as a managed Open Source
project, making it an ideal choice for any multi-agent development activity.
We are pleased to announce that FIPA-OS v2.1.0 is now available for
download. FIPA-OS v2.1.0 is fully documented and contains many extensions
and improvements. The key features are:
- An electronic marketplace application framework provided as a tutorial
exercise "eMarkets".
- HTTP MTP (HTTP support for platform interoperability provided by QM-UL).
- Specification compliance fixes from the FIPA Bake-Off meeting which
validated FIPA-OS support for the FIPA Experimental specifications.
- Thread Pooling in the TaskManager for reduced resource usage.
- Many memory usage optimisations.
