Yet another Semantics of Goals and Goal Priorities
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a semantics of goals that deals with the problem of closeness under believed implications. The paper develops the semantics of wishes, its relation to beliefs, and deene goals in relation to wishes. Also, the semantics of a priority or importance relation among propositions (and goals) is developed. Finally the paper advances in extending this semantics to the multi-agent case.

Whereas commitments capture how an agent relates with another agent, (private) goals describe states of the world that an agent is motivated to bring about. Researchers have observed that goals and commitments are complementary, but have not yet developed a combined operational semantics for them. This paper makes steps towards such a semantics by relating the respective lifecycles of goals and...

Yet many patients do not complete an advance directive, and those who do frequently just designate a family member to make decisions for them. This finding raises the concern that clinical practice may be based on a mistaken understanding of patient pri...
متن کاملA Note on Fuzzy Goal Programming with Nested Priorities
Rubin and Narsimhan [1984] proposed a method for formulating fuzzy priorities in goal programming. They used the concept that the membership function based on nested priorities has to be concave to solve the fuzzy goal programming problem by linear programming method. In this paper, we relax the condition of concave membership function by quasi concave membership function. We showed that the fu...
