Abstract

This is a research proposal, aiming to improve tooling and features of agent-oriented programming languages, in particular Jason, to handle virtual time and real-time deadlines. The main idea is to apply known techniques and patterns from asynchronous programming in classical programming languages, and extend Jason as necessary.
