Conceptual Foundations of Interrogative Agents

چکیده
Reasoning by interrogation is one of the most ancient and experimented ways of reasoning. Originated by the Aristotelian elenchus, it has been used for many purposes, such as the resolution of mathematical and daily problems [25], [26], the discovery of new knowledge [19], [34], [36], the realization of questioning/answering processes [23]. In this paper we present the conceptual foundations of interrogative agents, a new model of BDI architecture based on interrogative logic. This model allows us to express the properties of agents in a natural way, and to use heuristics for reasoning. Finally, in order to explicate the whole approach and to highlight its main features we describe the application of interrogative agents in the context of database refactoring.

متن کاملNon-human animates and non-selective interrogative pronominals
In this paper, I examine the cross-linguistic variation in the use of non-selective interrogative pronominals, such as English who? and what?, in questions about nonhuman animates, i.e. non-human biologically living entities. For purposes of crosslinguistic comparison, I define the non-selective interrogative pronominals ‘who?’ and ‘what?’ as idealizations resulting out of the interaction betwe...
متن کاملTheoretical foundations of natural language programming and publishing for intelligent agents and robots
This paper is an application of ontology theory, conceptual graphs and programming language theories to develop the theoretical foundations of natural language programming (NLP) that has in recent years been used to produce natural language documents for intelligent agents and human readers. The analysis given reveals three benefits of NLP. First, it is “conceptualized” programming that enables...
متن کاملExtracting Micro Ontologies from Interrogative Domains For Epistemic Agents
A relevant and functional ontology continues to be one of the bottlenecks to the process of building epistemic agent-oriented systems. While the construction of electronic ontologies is the focus of many ongoing efforts, ontology building in a timely manner remains an obstacle. Our current focus is directed toward the notion of automated identification of ontological artifacts from interrogativ...

Die in der vorliegenden Arbeit entwickelte Theorie k unstlicher Agenten mochte als Versuch verstanden werden, einen relevanten Beitrag zu den logisch-begri ichen und softwaretechnischen Grundlagen von Multiagentensystemen zu leisten. Dabei kommt es auf eine theoretische Modellierung an, die in direktem Bezug zu den operationalen Komponenten eines Agentensystems steht und nicht von ihnen abstr...
