A unified interaction-aware goal framework

Goals are central to the design and implementation of intelligent software agents. Much of the literature on goals and reasoning about goals only deals with a limited set of goal types, typically achievement goals, and sometimes maintenance goals; and much of the work on interactions between goals only deals with achievement goals. We aim at extending a previously proposed unifying framework for goals with additional richer goal types, including a combined “achieve and maintain” goal type. We propose to provide an operationalization of these new goal types, proving that the operationalization meets desired properties.
