Abstract​

In this abstract, we briefly discuss the relationship between Agent-Oriented software engineering, with special attention to the Belief-Desire-Intention paradigm, and the world of autonomic computing. Although these two worlds seem on paper to be complementary, in the sense that BDI sounds like a highly effective paradigm to implement autonomic systems, in practice, they are not widespread as technological choices in the community. We argue that the reason is mostly related to the current state of the tooling rather than the paradigm, and we propose a novel approach to build tools for BDI agent-oriented programming that could ease adoption in the autonomic and self-organising systems community.
