At the same time, it is difficult to develop and maintain such complex systems with our traditional software techniques. The agent-oriented/based systems, rooted in a different view of computational entities, offer prospects for a qualitative change in this aspect. In this work, we adopt the basic architecture of a Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) agent model and develop a more intelligent and dynamic searching model for agent programming. In the BDI model, the Desire is the goal to achieve or event to handle, the Intention is a set of plans to realize the predefined goal or react to a specific situation, and the Belief is the knowledge about the agent itself and the varying environment. Applying BDI
