Abstract

Cloud computing is envisioned a dominant role in the future. Extensive amount of data are stored, applications running in the cloud, and globally accessible. However, users neither cannot nor are interested in observing and processing those amounts of information. Thus, a mentalistic model that virtually represents the user’s goals could be integrated with the cloud to present processed extracts in a cognitively accessible way. Such an approach is presented with deliberative BDI agents both in general and in a case study for COPD patients.
