Hi everybody,   
      
   After reading about FIPA, MASIF, KQML, etc., I cannot find a conclusion   
   regarding the current state of these issues and how to choose a   
   suitable   
   option to enable agent interoperability. I hope you can help me to   
   understand the current state of the system (redirecting me the   
   appropriate information source). KQML as the   
   ACL? FIPA? What about the content language? Maybe the trend is using   
   ontologies and description logics? Any recent study on these issues?   
      
   Also, is there any example that clearly proves the usefulness of ACLs   
   and/or   
   KQML? I mean, an example where not using an ACL would make things very   
   difficult. Sometimes, it is not clear if this currently helps to   
   integrate   
   heterogeneous information systems/agents or it is still at a research   
   stage   
   and therefore other proposals are equally valid.   
      
   Thanks in advance,   
      
   S.
