Abstract

As the use of intelligent agents in critical domains increases, the need for verifying their behavior becomes stronger. Reactive rules are the main reasoning formalism for intelligent agents. For this reason, we propose the use of the OTS/CafeOBJ method for the specification of reactive rules, which will permit the verification of safety properties for reactive rule-based intelligent agents.
