Re: [Jason-users] Proactivity and BDI Agents

[Cleber J. A. <cle...@gm...>]

Hi, Burak!

I see. That is interesting to have applications and tangible examples of
such a behavior.

I think MAPC scenarios can really help on this. Considering Wooldridge's
definition (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vID-_uIfAvg) and this
<https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/proactive>
dictionary:
"proactive" is:
1) "taking action by causing change and not only reacting to change when it
happens."
2) "intending or intended to produce a good result or avoid a problem,
rather than waiting until there is a problem".

In the last MAPC, agents exhibit such behavior when they, for instance:
- Explore the environment to map resources. They don't really know what to
do with the resources at the beginning, but knowing resources positions let
them be prepared to react to the tasks.
- Grab blocks of some kinds, even when they don't have anything to do with
them yet. They can do it because they know that can resources are useful
when certain tasks pop up.
- When they go to defend some area in order to avoid that the opponent
reach some resource that is important for the opponent to accomplish some
task.
- When more than one agent engage in a task, just in case one of them fails
(due to many situations that may occur in the environment).

I look forward to seeing your conclusions.

Cheers,
