Abstract

The BDI agent framework is a well-known agent framework, often discussed in the agents literature. The work described here takes advantage of the folk psychological roots of the philosophical underpinnings of BDI to develop and build models of human behaviour. Knowledge elicitation was closely tied to the folk psychological background, and this was then encoded with a BDI-based language. Although some accommodation did have to be made for the gaps between the BDI philosophy and the implementation language, this approach did provide intuitive way of developing and building these models.
