ABSTRACT
We describe Nuin: a flexible agent architecture designed for practical development of agents in Semantic Web applications, based around belief-desire-intention (BDI) principles. We outline the central design features of the platform, and show how the implementation is designed to give maximum flexibility to agent designers, while retaining the overall coherence of the design.

Towards a real-time architecture for time-aware agents
AAMAS '02: Proceedings of the first international joint conference on Autonomous agents and multiagent systems: part 1This extended abstract introduces the concept and defines the requirements of time-aware agents, that is, agents capable of reasoning about temporal constraints placed on both agent-agent and human-agent interactions. Using this concept, a real-time ...
