Abstract

The Constrained Rationality framework, a formal qualitative goals and constraints reasoning framework for single and multi agents to analyze and rationalize about strategic decisions/conflicts, is extended in this paper by adding: 1) modeling mechanisms to include the agent's priorities, emotions and attitudes within the context of the conflict; and 2) eliciting the agent's cardinal and ordinal preferences over his alternatives using the amount of achievement the strategic goals of the agent can harness from each alternative, given the collective goals, constraints, priorities, emotions and attitudes, the agent has. An illustrative example and some experimental results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the framework and the proposed modeling and reasoning mechanisms in the context of a strategic decision making case.
