Abstract

Often, such as in the presence of conflicts, an agent must choose between multiple intentions. The level of complete-ness of the intentions can be a factor in this deliberation. We sketch a pragmatic but principled mechanism for quan-tifying the level of completeness of goals in a Belief-Desire-Intention–like agent. Our approach leverages previous work on resource and effects summarization but we go beyond by accommodating both dynamic resource summaries and goal effects, while also allowing a non-binary quantification of goal completeness.
