Abstract
In this paper we introduce and formalise dynamic goal hierarchies. We begin with a formal definition of goals, according to which they are rational desires. In particular, we require that an agent's goals are coherent; that is, that the agent believes that each goal is jointly realisable with all of the goals which the agent considers to be more important. Thus an agent's goals form a hierarchy, and new goals are defined with reference to it. We then show how preferential entailment can be used to formalise the rational revision of goals and goal hierarchies. ER -
