We present a new approach to providing soft real-time guarantees for Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) agents. We define what it means for BDI agents to operate in real time, or to satisfy real-time guarantees. We then develop a model of real-time performance which takes into account the time by which a task should be performed and the relative priority of tasks, and identify the key stages in a BDI architecture which must be bounded for real-time performance. As an illustration of our approach we introduce a new BDI architecture, ARTS, which allows the development of agents that guarantee (soft) real-time performance. ARTS extends ideas from PRS and JAM to include goals and plans which have deadlines and priorities, and schedules intentions so as to achieve a priority-maximal set of intentions by their deadlines.
