2APL: a practical agent programming language
This article presents a BDI-based agent-oriented programming language, called
2APL (A Practical Agent Programming Language). This programming language facilitates
the implementation ofmulti-agent systems consisting of individual agents thatmay share and
access external environments. It realizes an effective integration of declarative and imperative
style programming by introducing and integrating declarative beliefs and goals with events
and plans. It also provides practical programming constructs to allow the generation, repair,
and (different modes of) execution of plans based on beliefs, goals, and events. The formal
syntax and semantics of the programming language are given and its relation with existing
BDI-based agent-oriented programming languages is discussed
