In the context of cognitive agent programming frame-
works, a main research effort accounts for exploiting goal-
orientation for specifying and enacting agent interaction. Ex-
isting research work focuses almost totally on direct com-
munication models, typically based on speech-acts and FIPA
ACL. In this paper we focus instead on mediated interactions,
and in particular on interaction taking place in artifact-
based environments, where artifacts are first-class mediating
tools that are used by cognitive agents in goal-directed way.
The investigation is concretely supported by integrating the
Jadex platform (enrolling the Belief-Desire-Intention model
of agency) with the CARTAGO technology (enabling the de-
sign of artifact based environments).
