Abstract

ACTILOG is a language to write generalized condition 驴 action activation rules. We propose it as an alternative and a complement to OPENLOG [6], another agent logic programming language for an abductive reasoner. We want to show how implications (conditional goals) can be used to state integrity contraints for an agent. These integrity contraints describe conditions under which the agent's goals must be reduced to plans that can be executed. For instance, a rule such as if A then B, will indicate to the agent that whenever it can prove that A is the case, it then should pursue goal B. B is normally the description of a task that must be reduced to a set of low-level, primitive actions that the agent can execute.
