Intention Scheduling for BDI Agent Systems
Shung-Bin Yan, Zu-Nien Lin, Hsun-Jen Hsu, Feng-Jian Wang · 2006
BDI is one of the models in agent systems. Currently; most of BDI agents' researches are focused on the ability for agents to dynamically select plans to achieve a goal. There are fewer discussions on intention scheduling, the order in which the selected plans are executed. Agents must adapt to dynamical and unpredictable changes. Without a proper scheduling scheme, an agent may repeat unnecessary works, waste valuable resource or even fail the users' expect altogether. In this paper, we present an effective intention-scheduling scheme in BDI reasoning process.
