Notes taken from 'Argument-based Negotiation among BDI Agents' (2002), by Sonia V. Rueda, Alejandro J. Garcia, Guillermo R. Simari
"... Here we propose a deliberative mechanism for negotiation among BDI agents based in Argumentation."
1, Introduction
In a BDI agent, mental attitudes are used to model its cognitive capabilities. These mental attitudes include Beliefs, Desires and Intentions among others such as preferences, obligations, commitments, etc. These attitudes represent motivations of the agent and its informational and deliberative states which are used to determine its behaviour.
Agents will use a formalism based in argumentation in order to obtain plans for their goals represented by literals. They will begin by trying to construct a warrant for the goal. That might not be possible because some need literals are not available. The agent will try to obtain those missing literals, regarded as subgoals, by executing the actions it has available. When no action can achieve the subgoals the agent will request collaboration...
2, The Construction of a BDI Agent's Plan
Practical reasoning involves two fundamental processes: decide what goals are going to be pursued, and choose a plan on how to achieve them... The selected options will make up the agent's intentions; they will also have an influence on its actions, restrict future practical reasoning, and persist (in some way) in time...
... Abilities are associated with actions that have preconditions and consequences...
