Revising conflicting intention sets in BDI agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Autonomous agents typically have several goals they are pursuing simultaneously. Even if the goals themselves are not necessarily inconsistent, choices made about how to pursue each of these goals may well result in a set of intentions which are conflicting. A rational autonomous agent should be able to reason about and modify its set of intentions to take account of such issues. This paper presents the semantics of some preferences regarding modified sets of intentions. We look at the possibility of simply deleting some intention(s) but more importantly we also look at the possibility of modifying intentions, such that the goals will still be achieved but in a different way.

A Framework for Multi-criteria Argumentation-Based Decision Making within a BDI Agent
The BDI model, as a practical reasoning architecture aims at making decisions about what to do based on cognitives notions as beliefs, desires and intentions. However, during the decision making process, BDI agents also have to make background decisions like choosing what intention to achieve next from a set of possibly conflicting desires; which plan to execute from among the plans that satisf...

متن کاملHeterogeneous BDI Agents I: Bold Agents
One of the most interesting issues that arises in agents based on the BDI (belief-desire-intention) formalism is capturing notions of realism, that is constraints that describe possible interrelationships between the three attitudes. Three such sets of constraints have been considered in the literature: strong realism, realism and weak realism. In this paper we propose notions of realism for he...
متن کاملManaging Different Sources of Uncertainty in a BDI Framework in a Principled Way with Tractable Fragments
The Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) architecture is a practical approach for modelling large-scale intelligent systems. In the BDI setting, a complex system is represented as a network of interacting agents – or components – each one modelled based on its beliefs, desires and intentions. However, current BDI implementations are not well-suited for modelling more realistic intelligent systems whic...
متن کاملA new BDI agent architecture based on the belief theory. Application to the modelling of cropping plan decision-making
Agent-based simulations are now widely used to study complex systems. However, the problem of the agent design is still an open issue, especially for social-ecological models, where some of the agents represent human beings. In fact, designing complex agents able to act in a believable way is a difficult task, in particular when their behaviour is led by many conflicting needs and desires. A wi...
