This paper presents a hybrid deliberative architecture based on the concept of CBP-BDI agent. A CBP-BDI agent is a BDI agent that incorporates a CBP reasoning engine. The work here presented focuses in the development of the CBP internal structure. The planning mechanism has been implemented by means of a novel FYDPS neural network. The system has been tested and this paper presents the results...

This paper proposes a modularisation framework for BDI based agent programming languages developed from a software engineering perspective. Like other proposals, BDI modules are seen as encapsulations of cognitive components. However, unlike other approaches, modules are here instantiated and manipulated in a similar fashion as objects in object orientation. In particular, an agent’s mental sta...

The classic BDI model focuses on the internal functioning of a single-agent architecture. Neither shared beliefs nor spontaneous and indirect coordination via the environment are supported. We describe Hive-BDI, an extension of the Jason BDI-style language with shared beliefs implemented via the logic-based coordination language ReSpecT and with stigmergy obtained via digital pheromones. A case...

Introducing the notion of experience as a primitive construct, we illustrate how the BDI cycle is completed: experiences generate beliefs, which in turn generate desires, which in turn generate intentions, which in turn generate new experiences. Furthermore, the notion of experience is used to ground social BDI agents in the physical world. We do not assume an agent’s BDI model already exists, ...

The neurobiological underpinnings of effort-related monetary reward processing of gambling disorder have not been previously studied. To date neuroimaging studies lack in large sample sizes and as a consequence less attention has been given to brain reward processing that could potentially be attributed to comorbid conditions such as depressive mood state. We assessed monetary reward processing...

We report here a unique method for formulating doxorubicin-polylactide (Doxo-PLA) conjugate nanoparticles, known as nanoconjugates (NCs), through Doxo/(BDI)ZnN(TMS)(2)-mediated [(BDI) = 2-((2,6-diisopropylphenyl)amido)-4-((2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-imino)-2-pentene], chemo- and regioselective polymerizations of lactide (LA) followed by nanoprecipitation. When Doxo/(BDI)ZnN(TMS)(2) was mixed with 1...

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The goals of this study are to compare self-reported depression and anxiety in subjects diagnosed asthma healthy controls. METHODS: We designed a case-control study. Subjects were recruited using consecutive sampling method from single institution. Two groups created: Asthma Data medical history demographic background collected the record. Self-reported level was assessed Bec...

agent applications, BDI agents, ontology, semantic web We present our initial response to the OAS’03 Challenge Problem. The Challenge Problem proposes an agent-assisted travel scenario, and asks what the role of ontologies would be to support the agent’s activity. We discuss a belief-desireintention (BDI) approach to the problem using our Nuin agent platform, and illustrate various ways in whic...

Cindy Olivia, Carlos F. Enguix, Chee-Fon Chang and Aditya K. Ghose Decision Systems Laboratory University of Wollongong, NSW, Australia 2522 Abstract This paper presents the Web CBR-BDI agent architecture for effective and intelligent real-time search on welldemarcated domains on the WWW. The proposed architecture is based upon the integration of case-based reasoning (CBR) with the BDI agent ar...

BACKGROUND The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is used worldwide for detecting depressive symptoms. This questionnaire has been revised (1996) to match the DSM-IV criteria for a major depressive episode. We assessed the reliability and the validity of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the BDI-II for non-clinical adults. METHODS The questionnaire was applied to 60 college students on two occ...
