Agents as On-line Pseudo-people
Agents are ontologically grounded in their role in the agent community
Agents have beliefs, commitments, obligations, intentions, and even confusion, stubbornness, etc.
  • Ex: Agent1 sent agent2 an e-mail because it felt "obligated", or perhaps Agent1 crashed the network because it was "confused"
Agents have a Ômental state' similar to people in terms of epistemic logic
