Understanding decisions, intentions and actions a multi-level meta-modal model

چکیده
This paper presents a formal model designed to help us understand decisions. We aim to represent the way in which acts affect the world and how decisions create intentions to act. The model is modal in two ways (i) because we are representing the acts and their consequences and (ii) because we wish to represent multiple alternatives for decisions. The model distinguishes different classes of decision: decisions to act, decisions to believe and decisions that create policy for future decisions. In order to create the model we abstract over different kinds of uncertainty, a technique we believe is also novel.

It requires the existence or formation of mutual beliefs about the capabilities and commitments of agents responsible for doing various actions, the adoption by individual agents of various intentions (not only intentions-to do actions, but also intentions-that various propositio...
متن کاملMeta-Level Control in Multi-Agent Systems
Sophisticated agents operating in open environments must make complex real-time control decisions on scheduling and coordination of domain actions. These decisions are made in the context of limited resources and uncertainty about outcomes of actions. The question of how to sequence domain and control actions without consuming too many resources in the process, is the meta-level control problem...
متن کاملTeaching Ethical Behaviour: Conversational Analysis in Perspective
In the past researchers have questioned the effectiveness of ethics training in higher education. Also, there are observations that support the view that ethical behaviour (range of actions)/ethical decision making models used in the past make use of vignettes to explain ethical behaviour. The understanding remains in the perspective that these vignettes play a limited role in determining indiv...
