Abstract: In this paper, we use an extended version of the situation
calculus to formalize goals and rational action.
We then use these notions and a definition of ability
(Lesp'erance et al. 1995b) to show that an agent that
is acting rationally will achieve its goals when it is able
to do so.
1 Introduction
This paper describes work on rational action that arose
from our efforts to create an explicit representation of
the goals of agents in the situation calculus. The utility
of an explicit... (Update)
