The Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA) provides a number of protocol specifications that can be useful
when deciding for interaction protocols. These specifications can be found at http://www.fipa.org/repository/ips.php3.
The specifications contain protocols for different requirements, ranging from simple queries to complex auction or
negotiation protocols. In combination with a well-defined agent communication language (ACL), these protocols form the
basis of the most common forms of interactions in MAS.
