Abstract:

In this presentation I will discuss the current version of the agent oriented programming language 3APL http://www.cs.uu.nl/3apl/.

I will especially focus on how this language tries to implement the "real" BDI concepts. We will look at some  features of the deliberation cycle, planning, goal revision and communication aspects. I will also discuss some of the problems we encountered while implementing the interpreter. Hopefully I will demonstrate a current version of 3APL.
