Description Logic Based BDI Implementation for Goal-Directed Semantic Agents

The Semantic Web, in its visionary architecture, employs intelligent agents fulfilling the user goals on the web content that is declared with Description Logic (DL) based Semantic Web languages. In order to meet this task, two important points must be taken into account in agent frameworks. First, frameworks must support comprehensive goal models that allow to pursue goals rationally. Second, these goal models must be integrated with the Semantic Web languages to enable defining goals depending on the web content. However, to execute and manage such goal models, elements of the agent architecture must be adapted with respect to the Semantic Web languages and the DL components behind these languages. For this purpose, in this paper, we propose a DL based goal model and introduce a Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) architecture which is built on top of DL components. In this architecture, we focus on how declarative goals are represented and managed.
