This paper presents a way of constructing a multi-agent nonmonotonic logic from any propositional preference logic (the base logic). The multi-agent logic will \correctly" extend the base logic for each agent, that is, each agent will reason in the base logic, and the reasoning of each agent is independent of each other. If the base logic is propositional circumscription then the extended logic...

1 I n t r o d u c t i o n Over the past few years, several different architectures for autonomous systems have been proposed in the (D)AI literature (e.g. [2, 8, 3, 14, 4, 7, 10, 5, 16, 15]). An important class of approaches to modeling systems that have to behave in a goal-directed manner in a complex, changing environment are layered architectures. This approach regards an agent as consisting...

The paper describes decision support system for modeling, control, and simulation of continuous, as well as discrete event systems. Models, control methods, and tools are in database specified by their attributes. Each attribute’s weight is initially estimated according to importance and classification power of a given feature. Automatic learning of attributes weights uses the answers of the us...

This paper presents a mixed-initiative assistant that helps a subject matter expert to express the way she solves problems in the task reduction paradigm. It guides the expert to follow a predefined modeling methodology, supports the expert to express her reasoning by using natural language with references to the objects from the agent’s ontology, and helps her in the process of specifying solu...
