Decision Theoretic Planning and the Bounded Rationality of BDI Agents

Contents

We reconsider the BDI agents model by exploiting a deci-sion theoretic planning framework together with a proposal for bounded rationality. In particular, we show how the in-terplay between a planner based on an anytime algorithm and a meta-deliberation module for dealing with bounded re-sources sheds light on the notion of intention as proposed by Michael Bratman.
