Abstract: | One of the basic questions of research in Distributed Articial Intelligence DAI is how agents have to be structured and organized and what functionalities they need in order to be able to act and to interact in a dynamic environment To cope with this question is the purpose of models and architectures for autonomous and intelligent agents In the rst part of this report InteRRaP an agent architecture for multiagent systems is presented The basic idea is to combine the use of patterns of behaviour with planning facilities in order to be able to exploit the advantages both of the reactive behaviourbased and of the deliberate planbased paradigm Patterns of behaviour allow an agent to react exibly to changes in its environment What is considered necessary for the performance of more sophisticated tasks is the ability of devising plans deliberately A further important feature of the model is that it explicitly represents knowledge and strategies for coopera tion This makes the model suitable for describing highlevel interaction among autonomous agents In the second part the loadingdock domain is presented which has been the rst application the InteRRaP agent model has been tested with An automated loadingdock is described where the agent society consists of forklifts which have to load and unload trucks in a shared environment |

Distributed Articial Intelligence DAI is how agents
have to be structured and organized and what
functionalities they need in order to be able to act
and to interact in a dynamic environment To cope
with this question is the purpose of models and
architectures for autonomous and intelligent agents
In the rst part of this report InteRRaP an agent
architecture for multiagent systems is presented The
basic idea is to combine the use of patterns of
behaviour with planning facilities in order to be
able to exploit the advantages both of the reactive
behaviourbased and of the deliberate planbased
paradigm Patterns of behaviour allow an agent to
react exibly to changes in its environment What is
considered necessary for the performance of more
sophisticated tasks is the ability of devising plans
deliberately A further important feature of the
model is that it explicitly represents knowledge and
strategies for coopera tion This makes the model
suitable for describing highlevel interaction among
autonomous agents In the second part the loadingdock
domain is presented which has been the rst
application the InteRRaP agent model has been tested
with An automated loadingdock is described where the
agent society consists of forklifts which have to
load and unload trucks in a shared environment},
