Heterogeneous BDI Agents I: Bold Agents
نویسنده
چکیده
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 heterogeneous BDI agents and in particular we explore what we call bold agents. We interpret bold BDI agents as agents that are willing to take risks, and thus adopt intentions even though they may not believe in all respective accessible worlds that these are achievable.

Going beyond BDI: Programming 'BDI+' Agents
The BDI model for intelligent agents has been very influential for both theoretical and practical research in agent technology. It gave rise to a form of agent-oriented programming which could be called ’BDI programming’, the programming of the mental attitudes of agents, where these attitudes pertain to notions in the vein of beliefs, desires and intentions. In this talk I will sketch how we c...
متن کاملTowards a Normative BDI Architecture for Norm Compliance
Multi-Agent Systems require coordination mechanisms in order to assemble the behaviour of autonomous and heterogeneous agents and achieve the desired performance of the whole system. Norms are deontic statements employed by these coordination mechanisms which define constraints to the potential excesses of agents’ autonomous behaviour. However, norms are only effective if agents are capable of ...
متن کاملIntegrating heterogeneous agent programming platforms within artifact-based environments
“Agents and Artifacts” (A&A) and CARTAGO are becoming increasingly popular as, respectively, a general-purpose programming model and a related infrastructure for developing shared computational environments in agent-based software systems. However, so far there has been no work on developing multiagent systems (MAS) where agents implemented and deployed in different agent-programming platforms ...
متن کاملIncorporating BDI Agents into Human-Agent Decision Making Research
Decision making has since long been an area of interest to scholars from all kinds of disciplines: psychology, sociology, economics and more recently, computer science. A lot of research focuses on finding, isolating and formalizing the factors that are involved in decision making processes of both humans and software agents. The Colored Trails (CT) framework [2] is designed to aid researchers ...
متن کاملVerifying heterogeneous multi-agent programs
We present a new approach to verifying heterogeneous multi-agent programs — multi-agent systems in which the agents are implemented in different (BDI-based) agent programming languages. Our approach is based on meta-APL, a BDI-based agent programming language that allows both an agent’s plans and its deliberation strategy to be encoded as part of the agent program. The agent programs comprising...
