Most existing work in agent programming assumes an execution model where an agent has a knowledge base (KB) about the current state of the world, and makes decisions about what to ...
This paper briefly outlines the main characteristics of an ongoing research aimed at developing a support library for implementing systems based on autonomous agents. The library ...
Between sensing the world after every action (as in a reactive plan) and not sensing at all (as in an openloop plan), lies a continuum of strategies for sensing during plan execut...
Optimal behavior is a very desirable property of autonomous agents and, as such, has received much attention over the years. However, making optimal decisions and executing optima...
Abstract. Research on practical models of autonomous agents has largely focused on a procedural view of goal achievement. This allows for efficient implementations, but prevents an...
