Logic Programming (LP) is a growing field in the agents programming community.When faced with the task of representing a problem with logic rules, it is crucial that the formalism used allows for an intuitive way of expressing the problem: OCLP provides a direct representation of choices and preference.Following the work of [De Vos 2001] in the creation of OCLP, we analyse how this formalism can be used and implemented to represent reasoning capabilities in an Intelligent Agent System.In order to aid in the development of such multi-agent system (MAS), a bridge is needed between an answer set solver and an agent platform.Motivated by this, TOADs (Tractable OCLP Agent Definitions) is designed and developed.TOADs is intended to be a framework for the creation of OCLP-minded agents and multi-agents systems.The scope of the project is extended and a GUI is provided to help supervise and edit OCLP agents as they interact allowing the user to follow the system as it evolves.------parsed and recognised as{ dontchallenge, swords } Output prepared: { dontchallenge, pistols } { dontchallenge, swords } Challenger: started.Running in Retained Mode.
