* [[PECS]] (Physics, Emotion, Cognition, Social, describes how those four parts influences the agents behaviour).
 
Another important thing about agents is the ability to communicate. Important Agent Communication Languages a([[ACL]]) are [[FIPA]] ACL ([[Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents]], a standardization consortium) and [[KQML]] ([[Knowledge Query and Manipulation Language]]), that both rely on speech act theory developed by [[Searle]] 1960 and enhanced by [[Terry Winograd|Winograd]] and [[Fernando Flores|Flores]] in the 70s. Both languages are very similar and describe a set of performatives and their meaning (e.g. ask-one). the content of the performative is not standardized, but varies from system to system. To make agents understand each other they have to not only speak the same language, but also have a common [[ontology]]. An ontology describes what kind of things an agent can deal with and how they are related to each other. It's part of the agents knowledge base.
 
Important researchers in the area of agents are:
