....behaviors. BDI plans provide some support for this but they are not explicit enough. 2. We need a detailed object oriented design to guide our implementation. Subsumption implementations are usually hardware based, while BDI implementations are usually based on logic and rule based programming [12], or implement a new language and its interpreter as done by UM PRS. In general, it is very hard for novices to translate the subsumption and BDI descriptions given in textbooks (e.g. 25] into a coherent object oriented implementation. 3. We need a structured way of dealing with error ....

Executable Temporal Logic for Nonmonotonic Reasoning - Engelfriet, Treur   (Correct)

....it, can be done in the same language. It will be shown that specifications in our version of temporal logic can be executed, leading to a general algorithm for executing nonmonotonic reasoning processes. Although there are similarities with existing executable temporal logics (see [Ga89] [Fi94], FO95] OM94] there are some differences as well. The complexity of this algorithm is complete in the complexity class where many nonmonotonic formalisms reside. In Section two we will formalize the reasoning processes we want to specify using reasoning frames and in Section three we ....

To make this discussion concrete, consider the Concurrent MetateM programming language [16]. In this language, agents are programmed by giving them a temporal logic specification of the behaviour it is intended they should exhibit; this specification is directly executed to generate each agent s behaviour. Models for the temporal logic in which Concurrent MetateM agents are specified ....

Closest to our formal view on the proper description of object oriented distribution and concurrency is the work on METATEM, a directly executable temporal logic language [10]. However, its computation model is not based on point to point communication (as actors are) but on broadcasting (disallowed in actor systems) Furthermore, the underlying logic is a dense temporal logic instead of a discrete one, on which our approach is based. The importance of properly ....

Other types of languages are based directly on 3 logic ([7, 16, 6, 27]) In this paper, we consider the third approach of desinging a programming language for building programs based on the metaphor of intelligent agents. To promote this new style of programming, we think it is important to show at least three things. First of all, we believe it is important to ....

Another agent language based on a logic is Concurrent MetateM [6]. Here, each agent s behavior is specified in a subset of temporal logic. The specifications are executed using iterative model generation techniques. A limitation of the approach is that neither the interactions between agents nor their mental states are modeled within the logic. In [31] ....

Among the proposed languages are for instance the language Concurrent MetateM described in [5,14], which is underpinned by an executable temporal logic, and the language described in [1] based on higher order logic. Our contribution consists of the investigation of multi agent languages that are rooted in traditional concurrent programming paradigms. In a previous report [2] we have developed ....
