  • Conference paper
Trends in Applied Intelligent Systems (IEA/AIE 2010)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 6097))

Abstract

We propose a theoretical framework, grounded in possibility theory, to account for all the aspects involved in representing and changing beliefs, representing and generating justified desires, and selecting goals based on current beliefs about the world and the preferences of an agent.
