Abstract

A rational agent revises its goals when new information becomes available or its “desires” (e.g., tasks it is supposed to carry out) change. In this paper, we propose a logical framework, compatible with BDI theory, to represent changes in the mental state of an agent depending on the acquisition of new information and/or on the arising of new desires. Based on these changes, we estabilish fundamental postulates that the function which generates the goal set must obey, given the assumption of agent rationality.
