Abstract—Over the last decade, emotions have received
considerable attention among scholars in agent oriented
systems. In fact a large amount of computational models of
emotions has been developed and a new generation of artificial
agents has emerged to give rise to emotional agents, in
particular the Emotional BDI (EBDI) agents. However, in spite
of the several interesting studies that have been conducted to
underline the role of emotions in decision-making, few works in
the agent community have shed the light on the influences of
both immediate and expected emotions to drive
decision-making. In this context, we intend to propose a new
conceptual model of EBDI agency that involves the interplay
among immediate emotions, expected emotions and rational
decisions of artificial agents.
Index Terms—Belief desire intention architecture,
