Abstract :
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
