PD-Agent: A Flexible Agent BDI Model for Autonomic Computing

Aiming at challenging problem in building autonomic computing system, policy based management technology and intelligent agent technology was combined to build autonomic elements and autonomic computing system. Through importing policy into agent BDI model, a flexible agent model (PD-agent) is built to satisfy the requirement of autonomic element. To solve logic omniscience problem and related problems of policy operator, defeasible logic is imported. Working mechanism of our proposed system illustrates that the new-type agents can construct autonomic computing system in a seamless way.
