Future Work

The main part missing in the MASIF standard is an interface for Agent to Agent communication. This is important for sharing tasks, as Agents also are intended to work in groups and to share information and experience between them. To perform inter-Agent communication, CORBA should be used and the relevant interfaces for each group of Agents should be defined for your own, because the development of a common communication interface is a very complex and not so easy to process task.

Furthermore it does not cover a basic interface for an Agent, which means that with this interface implemented you could execute the same Agent in another System which is written in the same language. This could be done later when more open source Agent System implementations are available and a good basic interface is found. The actual MASIF version is intended to achieve basic interoperability and to be extended in future to more parts of Mobile Agents when they are more deeply known.
