Ambient applications require that the computing application be subsumed into the everyday context in an unobtrusive manner with interaction modalities that are natural, simple and appropriate to both the individual user and their associated context. Within this paper, we consider the use of mobile intentional agents as potential key enablers in the delivery of ambient intelligent services. In particular, we compare and contrast two agent-based ambient intelligence case studiesenAmbient computingBelief Desire Intention (BDI)Mobile intentional agentsConference Publication2013-06-20https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ie/
