Many interesting architectures for defining intelligent agents have been proposed in the last years. Logic-based architectures have proved effective for reproducing “intelligent” behavior while staying within a rigorous formal setting. In this paper, we present the DALI multi-agent architecture, a logic framework for defining intelligent agents and multi-

We discuss why emotions are currently an important topic for the intelligent agent paradigm. We explain which aspects of emotion research are relevant and indicate how current architectures for intelligent agents may be extended with resource managing constructs, inspired by ideas from cognitive science, to produce motionally intelligent agents.

Intelligent software agents have been used in many applications because they provide useful integrated features that are not available in “traditional” types of software (e.g., abilities to sense the environment, reason, and interact with other agents). Although the usefulness of agents is in having such capabilities, methods and tools for developing them have focused on practical physical repr...

In order to be successful in multi-agent electronic negotiating environments, intelligent agents should be capable of adapting their negotiation strategies and tactics so that they can achieve an agreement with optimized profit. In this paper, some findings are going to be shown in which negotiating intelligent agents in electronic commerce start negotiating using a simplified standard protocol...
