Computational Logic Foundations of KGP Agents
This paper presents the computational logic foundations of a model of agency
called the KGP (Knowledge, Goals and Plan model. This model allows the
specification of heterogeneous agents that can interact with each other, and
can exhibit both proactive and reactive behaviour allowing them to function in
dynamic environments by adjusting their goals and plans when changes happen in
such environments. KGP provides a highly modular agent architecture that
integrates a collection of reasoning and physical capabilities, synthesised
within transitions that update the agents state in response to reasoning,
sensing and acting. Transitions are orchestrated by cycle theories that specify
the order in which transitions are executed while taking into account the
dynamic context and agent preferences, as well as selection operators for
providing inputs to transitions
