  abstract = 	 {We present our Component-Based Agent Framework,
                  which enables a software engineer to design a set of
                  agents by using a visual component-based toolkit
                  (Sun's BDK), and wiring together desired blocks of
                  functionality. We instantiate this framework in the
                  RoboCup domain by implementing the necessary
                  components. The implementation also serves as a
                  proof of the viability of our framework. Finally, we
                  use this implementation to build sample agents. The
                  proposed framework is a first step towards the
                  merging of agent-based and component-based design
                  tools.},
