A defining characteristic of intelligent software agents is their ability to flexibly and reliably pursue goals, and many modern agent platforms provide some form of goal construct. However, these platforms are surprisingly naive in their handling of interactions between goals. Whilst previous work has provided mechanisms to identify and react appropriately to various sorts of interactions, it has not provided a framework for reasoning about goal interactions that is generic, extensible, formally described, and that covers a range of interaction types.
