Intelligent agents have to be provided with different skills and technological resources in order to deal with highly changing environments, uncertain, incomplete and potentially inconsistent information and bounded computational resources. BDI architectures, argumentation-based techniques and recent technologies like web services have been incorporated in the design of intelligent agents to address some of these difficult aspects. However, they have usually been focused on some partial aspects and it is not easy to see how these models and technologies could be effectively integrated in a single framework. In this work, we propose a general framework that integrates web services and argumentation-based inference into the design of a BDI system. Our proposal extends the well known advantages of BDI systems by using web services to access relevant information available on the Web and defeasible argumentation inference to manage incomplete and potentially inconsistent information.
