Reach the archive maintainers with questions about the Agentcities initiative or agent-based computing history.
This website is a heritage reference archive documenting the Agentcities research initiative, which operated from approximately 2000 to 2005. The original Agentcities Task Force (ACTF) and its ten working groups are no longer active organizations. The researchers, institutions, and companies that participated have long since moved on to other projects and organizations. This archive preserves documentation of their work — the network architecture, the working group outputs, the events, the research projects, and the technical recommendations — as a reference for historians, researchers, and practitioners interested in the evolution of agent-based computing.
The contact form below reaches the archive's current maintainers. Appropriate uses include corrections to factual information documented on this site, questions about the historical record of the Agentcities initiative, inquiries about the agent-based computing history covered here, and general questions about multi-agent systems as a research field. Please note that we are not able to provide technical support for contemporary AI systems, nor can we connect inquirers with former Agentcities participants.
We cannot put you in contact with former Agentcities working group members or participants. We have no affiliation with FIPA, JADE, or any of the research institutions that took part in the initiative. For contemporary multi-agent systems research, the resources listed below are far more appropriate starting points than this archive.
If your interest is in active research rather than the historical record, these organizations and platforms are the right places to begin:
