Intentions, an integral part of the mental state of an agent, play an important role in
determining the behavior of rational agents as they seek to attain their goals. In this paper, a …

An architecture for a rational agent must allow for means‐end reasoning, for the weighing of
competing alternatives, and for interactions betwen these two forms of reasoning. Such an …

The concept of an agent has become important in both Artificial Intelligence (AI) and

Within the ATAL community, the belief-desire-intention (BDI) model has come to be possibly
the best known and best studied model of practical reasoning agents. There are several …
