| Abstract | Intelligent agents are a modelling paradigm, based on the notion of agents with mental states.
The agent metaphor is nowadays used in many research and industry projects, and several
generic agent platforms are available. Nevertheless, there is a gap between platforms
concentrating on agent communication infrastructure and platforms concerned with the
representation of internal agent concepts. This article presents an approach to bridge this gap:
Jadex, an add-on to the widely used JADE agent platform. The add-on follows the BDI
architecture, a well-known model for representing mentalistic concepts in the system design
and implementation. The article provides an overview of the BDI model, and the design and
realization in Jadex, as well as the integration of the add-on into the JADE agent framework. |
