In contrast to it, they define a strong notion of agency, which adds to the weak notion, concepts applied to humans, i.e. mentalistic notions such as knowledge, beliefs, intentions, etc. The definition of Wooldridge and Jennings completes well the one of Franklin and Graesser, especially by requiring autonomy and communication.
