<\/td>\n<\/td>\nThree challenges for a logical theory of intentions<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

In this talk I want to draw attentions on three fundamental questions
\nfor the theory of intentions:<\/p>\n

1. Intention, intentionality and intentional agency: what is the
\nconnection?
\n2. What kind of constraints should rational intentions satisfy? Where do
\nthese constraints come from?
\n3. What is the role of individual and collective intentions in shared
\nagency?<\/p>\n

I will briefly present answers to these questions from the philosophical
\nliterature, and argue that a logical theory of intentions can, and even
\nshould try to answer them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

While there is an extensive literature developing logical
\nmodels to reason about informational attitudes (e.g. belief,
\nknowledge, certainty) in a dynamic environment, other mental states
\nhave received relatively less attention. (A notable exception here is
\nwork on logics of preferences and preference change.) However, this is
\nchanging with recent articles developing a theory of intention
\nrevision (see, for example, two recent articles:\u00a0Towards a Theory of
\nIntention Revision\u00a0by van der Hoek, Jamroga and Wooldridge and\u00a0A Logic
\nof Intention and Attempt\u00a0by Lorini and Herzig). These papers take as a
\nstarting point logical frameworks derived from Cohen and Levesque’s
\nseminal paper aimed at formalizing Bratman’s planning theory of
\nintention. \u00a0 In this talk, I will discuss a number of recent dynamic
\nlogics of intention and beliefs. \u00a0 \u00a0In the process we will reexamine a
\nnumber of foundational issues surrounding so-called BDI-logics.<\/p>\n

I will also discuss a recent paper on “joint revision of belief and
\nintention” (with Yoav Shoham and Thomas Icard) where we present a
\nformal semantical model to capture action,\u00a0\u00a0belief and intention,
\nbased on the \u201cdatabase perspective\u201d of (Logical Theories of Intention
\nand the Database Perspective, Journal of Philosophical Logic, \u00a02009,
\nby Yoav Shoham). We \u00a0 provide postulates for\u00a0belief and intention
\nrevision, and state a representation\u00a0theorem relating our postulates
\nto the formal model.\u00a0Our belief postulates are in the spirit of the
\nAGM theory; the intention postulates stand in rough correspondence
\nwith the belief postulates.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\nThe talk presents ongoing work about the roles intentions play in
\ninteraction, in particular as they relate to understanding information
\nflow. I discuss two such roles: information about an agent’s
\nintentions allows an observer to draw useful conclusions from the
\nformer’s actions; and intentions can be viewed as “programs”, guiding
\nthe actions of the participants towards an outcome state. I present a
\nDynamic Epistemic Logic approach which formalizes the notions of
\n“intending to take an action” and “taking an action based on a
\nprior intention” to account for these phenomena, and discuss further
\ndirections this research could take.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
