SAP initiated a survey project on agent technology in which the state of the art in the application of agents to industrial application domains is investigated. In this paper we describe our common effort and activities related to this project. The survey results consist of documents which describe relevant projects and products especially with respect to the technical details. These documents are [...] practitioners in industry as well as researchers willing to transfer knowledge into practice. Thus, we invite people to contribute relevant facts and ideas to the project web site (http://www.dfki.de/AgentSurvey).
