Zusammenfassung
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-trac management application
will be described from both a theoretical and an implementation perspective.
