abstract = {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 formalization
of intentions based on a branching�time possible�worlds model
is presented. It is shown how the formalism realizes many of the
important elements of Bratman's theory of intention. In particular,
the notion of intention developed here has equal status with the
notions of belief and desire, and cannot be reduced to these concepts.
This allows different types of rational agents to be modeled by imposing
certain conditions on the persistence of an agent's beliefs, goals,
and intentions. Finally, the formalism is compared with Bratman's
theory of intention and Cohen and Levesque's formalization of intentions.},
