Abstract

In intentional agents, actions are derived from the mental attitudes and their relationships. In particular, preferences (positive desires) and restrictions (negative desires) are important proactive attitudes which guide agents to intentions and eventually to actions. In this paper we overview recent developments about a multi-context based agent architecture g-BDI to represent and reasoning about gradual notions of desires and intentions, including sound and complete logical formalizations. We also show that the framework is expressive enough to describe how desires, together with other information, can lead agents to intentions and finally to actions. As a case-study, we will also describe the design and implementation of recommender system on tourism as well as the results of some experiments concerning the flexibility and performance of the g-BDI model.
