Extending the BDI architecture with commitments
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we describe a novel agent architecture for normative multiagent systems which is based on multi-context systems. It models the three modalities of Rao and Georgeff’s BDI agents as individual contexts and adds a fourth one for commitments. This new component is connected to all other mental attitudes via two sets of bridge rules, injecting formulae into it and modifying the BDI components after reasoning about commitments. As with other normative approaches the need for methods to deal with consistency is a key concern. We suggest three forms of dealing with the truth maintenance problem, all of which profit from the use of multi-context systems.

BDI+C — an architecture for normative, autonomous agents
In this paper, we describe a novel agent architecture for normative multi-agent systems which is based on multi-context systems. It models the three modalities of Rao and Georgeff’s BDI agents as individual contexts and adds a fourth one for commitments. This new component is connected to all other mental attitudes via two sets of bridge rules, injecting formulae into it and modifying the BDI c...
متن کاملA Hybrid Connectionist and BDI Architecture for Modeling Embedded Rational Agents
In this paper, our ongoing work on a hybrid, connectionist and belief-desire-intention (BDI) based, ratiohal agent architecture is described. The architecture makes specific commitments in order to achieve a harmony among the tasks of reasoning and acting. The architecture uses a bottom-up learning strategy to acquire rules for reactive behavior. Embedded Agents: From Reactive to
متن کاملHive-BDI: Extending Jason with Shared Beliefs and Stigmergy
The classic BDI model focuses on the internal functioning of a single-agent architecture. Neither shared beliefs nor spontaneous and indirect coordination via the environment are supported. We describe Hive-BDI, an extension of the Jason BDI-style language with shared beliefs implemented via the logic-based coordination language ReSpecT and with stigmergy obtained via digital pheromones. A case...
متن کاملObligations in a BDI Agent Architecture
This paper presents a conceptual model that adds mental states, capable of dealing with social elements, to BDI architectures. It has long been recognized that social elements enhance multi-agent performance. Ideas for extending BDI architectures to incorporate norms, values and obligations are presented. Norms and values endow multi-agent systems with social attributes thereby facilitating the...
متن کاملA Methodology to Engineer Graded BDI Agents
In this work we present a methodological framework to engineer graded BDI agent-based systems. The graded BDI agent model allows to specify an agent’s architecture able to deal with the environment uncertainty and with graded mental attitudes. We work up previous approaches on software engineering process, adapting and extending them, in order to develop agents with a more complex internal arch...
