[[FIPA>>http://www.fipa.org/||rel="__blank"]] (the //Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents//) is an [[IEEE Computer Society>>http://computer.org||rel="__blank"]] standards organisation that promotes agent-based technology and the interoperability of its standards with other technologies. |
|

Founded in 1996 as an independent body of standardisation devoted to agent languages and technologies, FIPA became the [[11th standard committee of IEEE>>http://www.computer.org/portal/web/sab/Sponsored-Committees||rel="__blank"]] in June 2005. |

Since the very beginning, our work in FIPA focussed on the standardisation of the software development process. Our experience in AOSE (Agent-Oriented Software Engineering), in particular with the [[SODA methodology>>SODA.WebHome||rel="__blank"]] and within the [[MEnSA Project>>MEnSA.WebHome||rel="__blank"]] made it clear that //// the role of agent-oriented abstractions and models could be essential in the engineering of complex computation systems, and at the same time //(ii)// the state of the AOSE field was clearly in need of a standardisation effort. |

That is why, in 2008, the [[IEEE-FIPA DPDF WG>>FIPA-DPDF.WebHome||rel="__blank"]] was founded—that is, the Working Group of FIPA devoted to //Design Process Documentation and Fragmentation//. |

In 2009 I co-organised, together with [[Vincent Hilaire>>http://set.utbm.fr/index.php?pge=269||rel="__blank"]] and [[Massimo Cossentino>>http://www.pa.icar.cnr.it/cossentino/||rel="_blank"]], the 1st IEEE FIPA Workshop on Design Process Documentation and Fragmentation to be held at The Multi-Agent Logics, Languages, and Organisations Federated Workshops ([[DPDF@MALLOW 2010>>DPDF.WebHome||rel="__blank"]]) |

Currently, I am the co-chair of the [[IEEE-FIPA DPDF WG>>FIPA-DPDF.WebHome||rel="__blank"]], together with [[Vincent Hilaire>>http://set.utbm.fr/index.php?pge=269||rel="_blank"]] and [[Massimo Cossentino>>http://www.pa.icar.cnr.it/cossentino/||rel="_blank"]]. |

The first activity of the DPDF WG focussed on providing a standard template for documenting the software engineering process. |
|
|
28 |
After three years of work, the [[Process Documentation Template standard>>http://fipa.org/specs/fipa00097/index.html||rel="__blank"]] was voted by the DPDF WG as an [[Experimental Standard>>http://fipa.org/specs/fipa00097/XC00097A.pdf||rel="__blank"]] on 15 June 2011, and raised to the full status of [[FIPA Standard>>http://fipa.org/specs/fipa00097/SC00097B.pdf||rel="__blank"]] on 10 January 2012. |

I worked as both a contributor and a reviewer for the Process Documentation Template standard. |
