Stack and KITs

BDI Stack and KITs

To assist the creation of applications according to the architectural principles, BDI defines many building blocks, where each building block provides tools and guidelines to implement parts of the required functionality. The building blocks are shown in the BDI stack:

Building blocks of BDI

Implementation of the principles by means of parts of the stack is aided by the definition of KITs.

A KIT is a subset of the BDI stack that forms a coherent capability. Implementing a KIT makes it easier to start with a minimal viable subset and add additional funtionality later as the need for it arises.
