The results from the discussion led by John Jules Meyer and Emil Weydert delve into BDI (Beliefs, Desires, Intentions) models and alternatives, highlighting key issues including conceptual disagreements about agent types and the need for further developments. The second day focuses on deliberation, balancing knowledge and desires in decision-making, handling conflicts, and maintaining BDI states. The discussions emphasize the significance of BDI in applications such as negotiation, cooperation, and robot interaction, ultimately suggesting that “killer applications” are emerging across various fields.

“Results” WG Deliberation John-Jules Meyer Emil Weydert
Day 1 • Introduction • Discussion of BDI and alternatives • BOID • QDT • Game theory • ...
Day 1 • Disadvantages? / problems? with BDI • Lack of concensus about interaction axioms -> agent types?! • Lack of concensus about BDI concepts such as goals, abilities, etc… (“every author has its own conception”) • Need further extensions -> very/too complicated semantics ?!
Day 2 • What is deliberation? • Balancing knowledge and desire yielding plan / intention • How to get goals (Wooldridge) • (re)planning --- DI update -- reasoning about action • Application of Max. Exp. Utility model
What is deliberation? (ctd) • Choosing intentions/goals/plans • Dealing with conflicts (e.g. arising from communication vs autonomy) • Maintenance of BDI-state (including BDI revision/updates) • Ambiguity wrt deliberation: selection vs the whole deliberation process
Killer applications?? • … (long discussion) • Applications ‘everywhere’: • Robots (e.g. in transport) • ‘Natural’ / rational dialogue generation, negotiations • Deliberation whether agent should engage in knowledge-seeking action
Killer applications?? • … (long discussion) • Applications ‘everywhere’: • cooperation • negotiation • information
Conclusion: • Killer applications to be found in the other working groups (negotiation, cooperation, information) !!! end of results
