This paper presents a new model of agency, called the KGP (Knowledge, Goals and Plan) model. This draws from the classic BDI model and proposes a hierarchical agent architecture wi...

Trust and reputation are central to effective interactions in open multi-agent systems in which agents, that are owned by a variety of stakeholders, can enter and leave the system ...

In description logics, concrete domains are used to model concrete properties such as weight, name, or age, having concrete values such as integers or strings, with built-in predic...
Abstract. Asbru is a complex formal language developed to represent clinical guidelines and protocols which are time- and processoriented. To facilitate and support the modeling in...
Action formalisms like the fluent calculus have been developed to endow logic-based agents with the abilities to reason about the effects of actions, to execute high-level strateg...
Abstract. This paper presents an approach for reasoning about action and change which appeals to the principle of Occam’s razor— roughly stating that the simplest explanations ...
Abstract. Solution techniques for Constraint Satisfaction and Optimisation Problems often make use of backtrack search methods, exploiting variable and value ordering heuristics. I...
This work is about the metatheory of actions, and here we address the problem of what a good domain description for reasoning about actions should look like. We state some postulat...
Super solutions are a mechanism to provide robustness to constraint programs [10]. They are solutions in which, if a small number of variables lose their values, we are guaranteed ...
