Abstract

Autonomous agents and multi-agent systems have been proved to beuseful in several safety-critical applications. However, in current agent architectures(particularly BDI architectures) the deliberation process does not includeany form of risk analysis. In this paper, we propose guidelines to implement TroposGoal-Risk reasoning. Our proposal aims at introducing risk reasoning in thedeliberation process of a BDI agent so that the overall set of possible plans isevaluated with respect to risk. When the level of risk results too high, agents canconsider and introduce additional plans, called treatments, that produce an overallreduction of the risk. Side effects of treatments are also considered as part of themodel. To make the discussion more concrete, we illustrate the proposal with acase study on the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle agent.
