Abstract
In this paper, we propose emotion as another additional component to the belief-desire-intention (BDI) agent architecture, which could enhance the reasoning process for agents to deliberate changes that occur in a normative framework. We postulate that emotions triggered in agents could influence the agents' decisions on the appraisal process, which subsequently enhance their performance. We discuss how emotions are deliberated in an agent's reasoning process that involves its beliefs, desires, and intentions in time-constrained situations. � 2012 Springer-Verlag.
