Improving Plan Execution Robustness through Capability Aware Maintenance of Plans by BDI Agents

چکیده
In a realistic environment, intentions of Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) agents may be threatened by the impact of exogenous change. Subsequent activity failure may incur debilitative consequences which hinder both recovery and subsequent goal achievement. CAMP-BDI (Capability Aware, Maintaining Plans) embodies BDI agents with capability knowledge, allowing anticipation of threats to activity success and stimulating proactive, preventative modification of intended plans. We describe resultant agent-level algorithms and supporting architecture, including extension to provide decentralized, distributed maintenance through structured messaging. Our results show superior goal achievement to a reactive equivalent in a stochastic environment, increasing with the likelihood of debilitative failure effects. We suggest CAMP-BDI offers a valuable approach towards robustness, particularly in tandem with reactive recovery methods.

متن کاملCAMP-BDI An approach for Multiagent Systems Robustness through Capability-aware Agents Maintaining Plans
Rational agent behaviour is frequently achieved through the use of plans, particularly within the widely used BDI (Belief-Desire-Intention) model for intelligent agents. As a consequence, preventing or handling failure of planned activity is a vital component in building robust multiagent systems; this is especially true for realistic environments, where unpredictable exogenous change during pl...
متن کاملCAMP-BDI: A Pre-emptive Approach for Plan Execution Robustness in Multiagent Systems
Failure mitigation during plan execution an important component in BDI agent robustness. In realistic environments exogenous change may increase likelihood of activity failure, threatening intended plans and associated goals. Failure itself may incur debilitative consequences or costs, hindering typical reactive recovery and potentially threatening future goals. We argue proactive failure mitig...
متن کاملSP-MCTS-based Intention Scheduling for BDI Agents
Arguably the dominant paradigm in agent development is the BeliefDesire-Intention (BDI) model [?]. In BDI-based agent programming languages, the behaviour of an agent is specified in terms of beliefs, goals, and plans. Beliefs represent the agent’s information about the environment (and itself). Goals represent desired states of the environment the agent is trying to bring about. Plans are the ...
متن کاملRun-time norm compliance in BDI agents
Normative systems offer a means to govern agent behaviour in dynamic open environments. Under the governance, individual agents themselves must reason about compliance with stateor event-based norms (or both) depending upon the formalism used. This paper describes how norm awareness enables a BDI agent to exhibit norm compliant behaviour at run-time taking into account normative factors. To thi...
