Decisions, Deliberation, and Agent Types CDT - QDT - BDI - 3APL - BOID
Mehdi M. Dastani, Leendert van der Torre · 2005
In this paper we investigate the relation between decisions, deliberation and agent types. In particular, we are interested how deliberation leads to decisions, and how agent types classify patterns of deliberation. We therefore consider Classical and Qualitative Decision Theories (CDT and QDT), the Beliefs-Desire-Intention (BDI) model, 3APL systems, and Belief-Obligation-Intention-Desire (BOID) systems. The first two are based on a decision rule which expresses a notion of rationality, whereas the latter three are based on deliberation processes and agent types.
