Notes

We propose Conference Helper BDI Agent, an agent which prepares a schedule and makes the necessary arrangements for a user who is going to a conference in Amsterdam between July 16-21. Conference Helper BDI Agent adapts to on-the-fly changes in desires. We implement Conference Helper BDI Agent in pure Java. We did not use any other third party libraries. We present a very rich scenario in terms of cancels, date changes, and other unexpected situations. We obtain new scenarios from this main scenario by making subtle but important changes to our main scenario and show that Conference Helper BDI Agent is capable to handle these changes.

Normally, only beliefs and intentions change in BDI design. However, while developing our main scenario, we found out that desires of a person can change as well. Hence, we implemented Conference Helper BDI Agent such that it also adapts to the changes in desires. We show how a desire change can happen and how our agent adapts to it in our main scenario.

In Section 2, we discuss the output format of Conference Helper BDI Agent. Then, we present our main scenario, and execute it using Conference Helper BDI Agent in Section 3. In Section 4, we describe the implementation details of Conference Helper BDI Agent. We conclude this report by describing future work in Section 5 and with a short summary of our work in Section 6.
