Agent Oriented Software Engineering
- How do we design these agents in a structured manner?
- How can we support and use structured design artifacts?
- We continue to develop Prometheus methodology and PDT design tool, now an Eclipse plugin.
- Current focus on testing and on verification aspects.

Behaviour Composition in Smart Spaces (KR)
How do we represent this information?
How do we coordinate in a smart and automated way?
How do we prove that they work efficiently?
We are developing Techniques to do this- Automated Planning- Verification/Model checking- Reactive Synthesis- Agent Oriented Programming

Agent Based Simulation – Emergency Management (++)
- How do we build modular agent based simulations with reusable components for use by policy makers and others?
- We have built a prototype evacuation planning simulation in collaboration with CFA and a flood preparation analysis simulation with City of Port Phillip and SES.
- Building strong links to social science. Adding BDI to ABMS. Looking at Urban Planning area.

Agents and Games
Synthesis of controllers to play or direct games in human-like fashion?
Creating controllers using BDI and learning: - Super Mario Turing Test AI - Angry Birds (Human vs machine) - Capture the flag (CTF)
Generating narrative in role playing games using BDI and planning: - BDI Gamemaster for comp. RPG - Game story construction using agent planning.
Interactive story-telling.
