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)
