Unfortunately, to date there have been only a handful of investigations into the integration of intention recognition into agent architectures. In particular, there are open questions as to the effect of intention recognition on the computational resources available to the agent. The issue is of particular importance in modern virtual environments, where the agent may be interacting with multiple other agents. This work tackles this question analytically and empirically. First, we examine run-time considerations, and offer a novel view of plan-recognition as a sampling process. Under this view, an existing work can be viewed as if trying to reduce the computational load on the agent by reducing the number of hypotheses it considers. In contrast, we reduce the \emph{Frequency} by which the recognition process is sampled. We provide an analytical model allowing selection of a fixed-frequency recognition, and examine a number of heuristics for dynamically-changing plans. In the second part of the thesis, we consider a method of integrating plan recognition processes, called \emph{Mirroring}, in which the executable knowledge of the agent is re-used, as is, for recognition. } }
