Towards practical reasoning agents for the semantic web

We describe Nuin: a flexible agent architecture designed for practical development of agents in Semantic Web applications, based around belief-desire-intention (BDI) principles. We outline the central design features of the platform, and show how the implementation is designed to give maximum flexibility to agent designers, while retaining the overall coherence of the design.
