Abstract

We extend our earlier work on quantifying the level of completeness of achievement goals in BDI agents [8], to encompass maintenance goals. We both characterize what it means for a maintenance goal to be partially complete in terms of its relevancy, and sketch an efficient computational mechanism for an agent to compute dynamic estimates of the progress of its maintenance goals. We also discuss the relationship between our computation of progress estimate with an earlier theoretical perspective on BDI goal completeness.
