An Architecture for Emotional Agent

The importance of emotion has been identified in human-like intelligence recently. To improve the ability of agent for handling emotions, a new architecture for emotion agent is presented, based on the traditional BDI agent model. The architecture firstly establishes a new emotion knowledge base for emotion expression, secondly performs emotion reasoning by an emotional reasoning algorithm, and finally implements the emotion treatment. An emotional agent grid based on this architecture has been realized, experiment results show that it is efficient to transact simple emotions by emotional agents
