Abstract

An approach is proposed for the development of user profile-based, adaptable Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) software agents. This proposed approach focuses on the integration of a user profile into the BDI software agent’s beliefs and the adaptation of these additional beliefs either by a human user or the BDI software agent. The outcome of this user profile integration and adaptation is a more personalized and user-oriented reasoning process carried out by the BDI software agent and leading to a wider acceptance of software agent technology especially in human-centric fields of application. The realization of this approach is illustrated by applying it to a basic scenario based upon the open source agent framework JADEX (Java Agent DEvelopment eXtension).
