Abstract: Significant enhancements in the capabilities of software agents can result through improving how they acquire information. Decision making depends on getting the right information, but the issue of what actually constitutes the right information is complex. This paper outlines important characteristics of information acquisition in agents and suggests how to improve the effectiveness of information acquisition in agents in virtual worlds. By taking an affordance oriented approach it is possible to identify information resources that are efficient, reusable and well matched to the capabilities of game agents.
