Working on student models (really) based on mental states

This paper shows some aspects of our work using a Multi-agent System applied to build interactive Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) with student model based on mental states (BDI agents). We present some aspects about BDI agents' implementation, and the tool (E-BDI editor) under construction. We do believe that building BDI agents is not simple. This declarative paradigm and its implementation needs to be guided by a visual tool. This editor was designed to aid research to organise the basic set of mental states needed to model the cognitive agents.
