This paper presents a new approach to integrate Artificial Intelligence in Virtual Environments. The system presented deals in a separated way the visualization and intelligence modules, applying in this last case a distributed approach (multi-agent systems) so that scalable applications may be built. Therefore, it is necessary to define agent architectures that allow agents to be integrated in the VW. Thus, a designer is abstracted from the peculiarities of interacting with a Virtual Environment. There is a first prototype of the framework using JADE as the supporting multiagent systems platform.
