Abstract. The ability to effectively debug agent-oriented applications is vital if agent technologies are to become adopted as a viable alternative for complex systems development. Recent advances in the area have focussed on the provision of support for debugging agent interaction where tools have been provided that allow developers to analyse and debug the messages that are passed between agents. One potential approach for constructing agent-oriented applications is through the use of agent programming languages. Such languages employ mental notions such as beliefs, goals, commitments, and intentions to facilitate the construction of agent programs that specify the highlevel behaviour of the agent. This paper describes how debugging has been supported for one such language, namely the Agent Factory Agent Programming Language (AFAPL). 1
Maintaining the Identity of Dynamically Embodied Agents

Abstract. Virtual agents are traditionally constrained in their embodiment, as they are restricted to one form of body. We propose allowing them to change their embodiment in order to expand their capabilities. This presents users with a number of difficulties in maintaining the identity of the agents, but these can be overcome by using identity cues, certain features that remain constant across embodiment forms. This paper outlines an experiment that examines these identity cues, and shows that they can be used to help address this identity problem. 1

Abstract. This paper presents SADAAM, an agent development methodology that utilises agile techniques to facilitate the development and implementation of multi-agent systems. We illustrate SADAAM through a worked example from the Supply Chain Management domain, and implement a partial system using the Agent Factory Framework. 1

Pericles is a design environment for the development of ontologies and interaction protocols integrated in the AgentService framework for Multi-Agent systems. We briefly illustrate the framework, introducing in particular the ontology service which allows AgentService users to clearly represent knowledge bases and message contents. The interaction protocol service provides a simple way to represent structured dialogs among agents. Pericles allows developers to graphically design these dialogs through AUML diagrams and to automatically generate the code representing the interaction protocols. A Pericles diagram defines agent roles which evolve sending and receiving messages through alternative paths and loops. The generated code allows an agent to participate to a conversation with peers, playing a role through a behaviour object. 1
Agents as Catalysts for Mobile Computing

Abstract. Agent-Oriented Programming (AOP) offers an alternative and radical approach to the development of information systems in various domains. However, one domain that AOP has only minimally affected, at least up until now, is that of mobile computing. Until recently, the use of strong intentional agents in such a domain has been considered impractical, and, indeed, computationally intractable. In this paper, Agent Factory, a system for the fabrication of strong intelligent agents, is reviewed in light of agent deployment on mobile devices. As an illustration of the potential of agents in mobile applications, two archetypical mobile computing applications, realised through Agent Factory, are described. 1
