        "Agent-Oriented Programming: Overview and Recent Results"

Agent-Oriented Programming can be viewed as a specialization of Object-
Oriented Programming.  AOP extends OOP by imposing structure on the state of
objects and by defining a small number of message types, each with a precisely
defined syntax.  The state (now called "mental state") of objects (now called
"agents") consists of components such as "belief", "choice", "commitment", and
"capability".  The speech-acty message types include "inform" and "request".
We have designed a family of agent interpreters, and have begun experimentation
with them.  Our ongoing research concerns the design of individual agents, as
well as the design of agent societies; these societies may consist of only
artificial agent, or may mix humans and machines.

I will provide an overview of the AOP framework, describe the current state of
implementation, and describe a number of relevant basic research results.


Refreshments will be served at 10:45 A.M. in Room 209, Computer Studies Building
