14:00 - 14:45: Extending BDI with Emotional Dispositions for Adaptive Social Reasoning
Luís Morgado and Graça Gaspar

In dynamic and uncertain environments, where agents can have different behavior profiles, the ability to reason about the other agents in order to coordinate their activities raises many problems. In this paper we argue that adaptive motivational mechanisms are fundamental to address these problems, and that emotion can be a key element in the definition of those mechanisms. In this line of thought, we present an agent model of emotional disposition and show how it could be used to extend a classical BDI model for adaptive behavior, in a context of social interaction.
