Adaptive goal prioritization by agents in dynamic environments

We present a model for an agent architecture that supports adaptive goal prioritization. Goal prioritization is the ability of the agent to adjust the relative priorities of a goal set in response to changes in a dynamic environment. This architecture allows an agent to act pro-actively to achieve goals, and to dynamically determine which goals should be pursued at any time. We discuss a dynamic domain in which the architecture will be situated, and outline the techniques needed to support goal re-prioritization
