Abstract
We present a fuzzy belief, desire and intention (BDI) architecture as a useful framework for modeling co-operative societies of artificial agents. We outline the social conditions necessary for agents to form joint intentions and joint actions. Our architecture facilitates the inference of a mutual belief by the agents of the society. We see this as critical because mutual belief is the starting point for joint action
