Commitments, Expectations, Affordances and Susceptibilities: Towards Positional Agent Programming
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper introduces an agent architecture centered around the notions of commitment, expectation, affordance, and susceptibility. These components are to a certain measure at the base of any agent system, however, inspired by research in explanation-based decision making, this contribution attempts to make explicit and start organizing under the same operationalization neglected figures as negative commitment, negative expectation, etc.

What Can I Not Do? Towards an Architecture for Reasoning about and Learning Affordances
This paper describes an architecture for an agent to learn and reason about affordances. In this architecture, Answer Set Prolog, a declarative language, is used to represent and reason with incomplete domain knowledge that includes a representation of affordances as relations defined jointly over objects and actions. Reinforcement learning and decision-tree induction based on this relational r...
متن کاملA Functional Model for Affordance-Based Agents
Today’s mobile artificial agents, such as mobile robots, are based on an object-oriented paradigm. They partition their environment into various objects and act in relation to individual properties of these objects. Such perception and acting is insufficient for goal-directed behavior in dynamic environments, which requires action-relevant information in the form of affordances. Affordances des...
متن کاملA Retrospective on the Reactive Event Calculus and Commitment Modeling Language
Social commitments in time: Satisfied or compensated was the title of a presentation given at the 7th DALT workshop edition [34] in which we proposed a layered architecture for modeling and reasoning about social commitments. We gave emphasis to modularity and to the need of accommodating certain temporal aspects in order for a commitment modeling framework to be flexible enough to adapt to div...
متن کاملGeneralized Commitment Alignment
The interoperability of interacting components means that their expectations of each other remain in agreement. A commitment captures what one agent (its creditor) may expect from another agent (its debtor). Chopra and Singh (C&S) motivate commitment alignment as a meaning-based form of interoperation and show how to ensure alignment among agents despite asynchrony. Although C&S’s approach demo...
متن کاملDefining Agent Organizations Using Social Commitments
The coordination in open multi-agent systems is difficult to achieve, mainly because agents are autonomous. Social commitments have been proposed as a new coordination paradigm, suitable to describe agent communications or interactions. As some authors have pointed out, commitment enforcement is necessary, i.e., autonomous agents that violate commitments must be punished. In related work this i...
