In this paper we present PRACTIONIST Studio, which is an integrated design and development environment for BDI agent-based systems, providing facilities and tools to represent the concepts and intentional elements underlying such a model as well as several common features offered by UMLbased tools. PRACTIONIST Studio aims at bridging the gap between the increasing trend of developing BDI-based ...

In this paper, optimal design of arch dams is performed under frequency limitations. Colliding Bodies Optimization (CBO), a recently developed meta-heuristic optimization method, which has been successfully applied to several structural problems, is revised and utilized for finding the best feasible shape of arch dams. The formulation of CBO is derived from one-dimensional collisions between bo...
