Abstract

The study of computational agents capable of rational behaviour has received a great deal of attention in recent years. Theoretical formalizations of such agents and their implementations have proceeded in parallel with little or no connection between them. This paper explores a particular type of rational agent a Belief, Desire, Intention (BDI) agent. The primary aim of this paper is to integrate a) the theoretical foundations of BDI agents from both a quantitative decision theoretic perspective and a symbolic reasoning perspective b) the implementations of BDI agents from an ideal theoretical perspective and a more practical perspective and c) the building of large-scale applications based on BDI agents, In particular an air-trfiac management application will be described from both a theoretical and an implementation perspective.
