g-BDI: A Graded Intensional Agent Model for Practical Reasoning
نویسندگان
چکیده
In intentional agents, actions are derived from the mental attitudes and their relationships. In particular, preferences (positive desires) and restrictions (negative desires) are important proactive attitudes which guide agents to intentions and eventually to actions. In this paper we overview recent developments about a multi-context based agent architecture g-BDI to represent and reasoning about gradual notions of desires and intentions, including sound and complete logical formalizations. We also show that the framework is expressive enough to describe how desires, together with other information, can lead agents to intentions and finally to actions. As a case-study, we will also describe the design and implementation of recommender system on tourism as well as the results of some experiments concerning the flexibility and performance of the g-BDI model.

A Cybernetic Architecture of Practical Reasoning Agent
During the last ten years, agent technology has been widely discussed in various research areas. An agent is a computer system that is situated in some environment, and that is capable of autonomous actions in this environment in order to meet its design objectives. There are at least two kinds of reasoning methods applied in constructing an agent, namely practical reasoning and theoretical rea...
متن کاملModeling Travel Assistant Agents: a graded BDI approach
In this paper, we use a graded BDI agent model based on multi-context systems to specify an architecture for a Travel Assistant Agent that helps a tourist to choose holiday packages. We outline the theories of the different contexts and the bridge rules and illustrate the overall reasoning process of our model.
متن کاملA review of “ Reasoning About Rational Agents ”
Reasoning About Rational Agents is concerned with developing practical reasoning (as contrasted with theoretical reasoning) for rational computer agents within the “Belief, Desire, Intention” model. The BDI model for computer agents is based on the theory of rational action in humans put forward in 1988 by the philosopher M. Bratman in his book Intention, Plans and Practical Reason. BDI logics ...
متن کاملA graded BDI agent model to represent and reason about preferences
In this research note, we introduce a graded BDI agent development framework, g-BDI for short, that allows to build agents as multi-context systems that reason about three fundamental and graded mental attitudes (i.e. beliefs, desires and intentions). We propose a sound and complete logical framework for them and some logical extensions to accommodate slightly different views on desires.
