Abstract

BDI agents are among the most popular models for the development of intelligent agents. The practical reasoning within the most of BDI models and architectures rely, in the best case, on three kinds of attributes: The utility associated with a goal, the cost of a plan and the uncertainty associated with the action’s effects. Based on a richer set of practical reasoning’s attributes, we propose a BDI architecture which aims to provide a step towards more flexible BDI agents.
