In a multi-agent system, a group of individuals interact in a social context in order toboost their capabilities and enhance global per formance. Each individual´s action repertoire may be reduced, but it´s social capability allows it to interact with other agents and obtain collaboration. This work offers an alternative for knowledgerepresentation in a system of collaborative BDI agents and presents an interaction protocol based on dialogues. The capacity to interact affects the behavioralmodel of a BDI agent that must consider the possibility of offering and soliciting collaboration. Thus, we propose an algorithm that models the behavior of a collaborative BDI agent.
