So would I. I researched a commercial report for a London-based company,
Ovum Ltd, which was published in the spring of this year, but I don't 
think it is what you're looking for.
It covered intelligent agents in general, and included market-oriented 
information on 27 companies active in the area. It included some relevant 
multi-agent research environments, such as Caddie at Logica
Cambridge (UK), and SMAK at Sharp Laboratories Europe, the ECRC inter-agent
communication language work, and an overview ofagent-related work at 
Carnegie Group.
I'd be very interested to know of something up-to-date in this area.
Thanks 
Christine
