Preferences of Agents in Defeasible Logic

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 3809))

Abstract

We are interested in programming languages for cognitive agents with preferences. We define rule-based agent theories and inference procedures in defeasible logic, and in this setting we discuss patterns of agent behavior called agent types.
