Abstract: . Autonomous agents reason frequently about preferences such as desires
and goals. In this paper we propose a logic of desires with a utilitarian semantics, in
which we study non-monotonic reasoning about desires and preferences based on the
idea that desires can be understood in terms of utility losses (penalties for violations)
and utility gains (rewards for fulllments). Our logic allows for a systematic study
and classication of desires, for example by distinguishing subtly dierent ways... (Update)
