Abstract
The term "multiagent system" applies to any system composed of many autono-mous (or partially autonomous) components called agents. It is assumed that agents are able to work in a dynamic, open and unpredictable environment in order to realisetheir tasks in a way comprising both reactive and proactive aspect of their behaviour.
One of the most important theories applying to agents is the BDI theory describingagents in terms of beliefs, goals/desires and intentions. An agent architecture PRS together with its implementation - dMars - is based on this theory. Alongside, anagent oriented design methodology was developed basing on an object-oriented technique OMT. The Dorcas platform is a system that assists development of agents based on the PRS/dMars architecture, related design methodology, and a theory of collectivemotivational attitudes developed at IIUW and ICS PAS. Within this platform a language and its interpreter serving to define agents in the BDI architecture wasrealised, together with a simulator of a virtual agent environment. Agents working within the Dorcas platform can communicate with each other using KQML
Keywords : Multi-agent system, MAS, BDI, PRS, dMars, agents' environment, interpreter, agent definition, OMT.
