Bogdan Pătruţ, Simona-Elena Vârlan, Tiberiu Socaciu · 2008
This paper represents a summary of a research report and the results of developing an educational software, including a multi-agent system for teaching accounting bases and financial accounting. The paper describes the structure of the multi-agent system, defined as a complex network of s-agents. Each s-agent contains 6 pedagogical agents and a coordinator agent. We have defined a new architecture (BeSGOTE) which extends the BDI (Beliefs, Desires, Intentions) architecture for intelligent agents and also a mixing-up relation among the accounts. We have presented both the way in which this mixing-up relation can be used for testing students and the way in which regular expressions can be used for representing accounting problems.
