Abstract

This paper discusses three types of declarative goals and motivates their integration in logic-based agent-oriented programming languages. These goal types are perform goals, achieve goals, and maintain goals. A goal type is considered as a specific agent attitude towards goals. The semantics for each goal type is explained from an operational perspective. It is argued that the suggested semantics of the goal types ensure some desirable and expected properties.
