Abstract
In this paper, we present the definition of the cognitive agent of the MCOE tutoring system using the agent model proposed by Móra et all in [23]. MCOE (Multi-agent Co-operative Environment) is a game modelled using a multi-agent system architecture composed of a society of agents who work to achieve a common goal: to assist a student to fight against pollution resulting from foreign elements (polluters) and to maintain the equilibrium of the environment. The system has two kinds of agents: reactive (designed and implemented using the object-oriented approach) and cognitive (designed with a mental state approach). The agent model used allows us both to formally define the cognitive agent and to execute it to verify the accuracy of the model.
