N2 - With the increased understanding of human behavior and the systematic reporting of a different mechanism through which the behaviors can be influenced, autonomous coaching systems are emerging. In this paper, a generic framework, based on the behavior change ontology, for health behavior change support systems is presented. In the framework, all the intervention components are singly defined and linked. The BDI-based behavior change coaching agent is designed through a framework which delivers behavior change intervention for a variety of coachees (human). Physical activity coaching scenario is created and simulated to show the definition and implementation of different classes in the framework. The simulation results show how through this framework we can define a coaching agent that can apply different types of health behavior interventions across a population of coaches and their preference settings.
