eQ: an adaptive educational hypermedia-based BDI agent system for the semantic Web

In this paper, we have focused on using a multi-agent system in e-learning environments with the aim to facilitate the adaptation processes, as well as to enable better way of achieving the e-learning goals. Because we are dealing with the stereotypes of e-learners, having in mind emotional intelligence concepts to help in adaptation to e-learners´ real needs and known preferences, we called this system eQ. The focus of the eQ multi-agent system is on the BDI agent rational model, which can be directly used to implement the proposed adaptation strategy, known as the FOSP method.
