Goals in agent systems: a unifying framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the literature on agent systems, the proactive behavior of agents is often modeled in terms of goals that the agents pursue. We review a number of commonly-used existing goal types and propose a simple and general definition of goal, which unifies these goal types. We then give a formal and generic operationalization of goals by defining an abstract goal architecture, which describes the adoption, pursuit, and dropping of goals in a generic way. This operationalization is used to characterize the discussed goal types.

A unified interaction-aware goal framework
Goals are central to the design and implementation of intelligent software agents. Much of the literature on goals and reasoning about goals only deals with a limited set of goal types, typically achievement goals, and sometimes maintenance goals; and much of the work on interactions between goals only deals with achievement goals. We aim at extending a previously proposed unifying framework fo...
متن کاملRich goal types in agent programming
Goals are central to the design and implementation of intelligent software agents. Much of the literature on goals and reasoning about goals in agent programming frameworks only deals with a limited set of goal types, typically achievement goals, and sometimes maintenance goals. In this paper we extend a previously proposed unifying framework for goals with additional richer goal types that are...
متن کاملDeep Learning and Adaptation in e-Learning Systems
In this paper we study the mechanism and application of deep learning techniques in the context of e-Learning in a multi-agent system. We use an underlying multi-agent system to simulate agents’ behaviour and determine the best (perturbed) strategy for reaching equilibrium of the stochastic system. We propose a unifying learning framework to develop and analyse the properties of the equilibrium...
متن کاملPattern-oriented modeling of agent-based complex systems: lessons from ecology.
Agent-based complex systems are dynamic networks of many interacting agents; examples include ecosystems, financial markets, and cities. The search for general principles underlying the internal organization of such systems often uses bottom-up simulation models such as cellular automata and agent-based models. No general framework for designing, testing, and analyzing bottom-up models has yet ...
متن کاملTowards unifying semantic constraints and security constraints in distributed information systems
Modern information systems must respect certain restrictions in order to guarantee the proper and desired functionality. Semantic constraints help to prevent inconsistencies in the stored data resulting from faulty updates. Security constraints are to maintain integrity, secrecy and availability over updates and over queries. In this paper we design an unifying framework for both kinds of const...
