Re: Agenda for today's regular meeting

Hi Paola,

> I have some materials i d like to share on agent interoperability as a possible contribution to the effort
what is the best way to share them with this group?

That's great to hear. If you think it would be useful, we can reserve time in one of the upcoming regular meetings for you to present the materials.

If these are reading materials that relate to specific points in the interoperability report, a good option would be to open a GitHub issue with all the relevant details: https://github.com/w3c-cg/webagents/issues


Looking forward to the exchange.

Best wishes,
Andrei

Thank you Amit

FIPA came up because there was an entry in the Interoperability Report, so I looked into it
and found out some materials, which I shared

After some analysis, I realised that FIPA is no longer the state of the art *have some research notes somewhere

So I am interested in exploring and understanding your approach, are these resources you point to in the post linked in the report?
*if they are, apologies for missing them, or not reading them yet

Would like to hear more about how they integrate with the work being done here *and apologies if this is obvious already
I am new here and trying to get the hang of things

Look forward to be learning more and wrapping my head around agents interop

Hi Paola


FIPA is not a viable approach for building interoperable agents.  The post below describes more advanced, yet simpler approaches that overcome FIPA's shortcomings.

Greetings, Andrei and everyone
apologies I missed the meeting today
I entered my name under regrets *belated
find the minutes very useful thanks!

Following some discussions in the last meeting, I sent a message with some attachment re FIPA to the private mailing list, was it received/processed?

Regarding Benchmarking, I heard it mentioned a few times, some scoping for this idea could be helpful

 I have some materials i d like to share on agent interoperability as a possible contribution to the effort
what is the best way to share them with this group?

Best regards

Paola
