CAMP-BDI: A Pre-emptive Approach for Plan Execution Robustness in Multiagent Systems

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract / Description of output

Belief-Desire-Intention agents in realistic environments may face unpredictable exogenous changes threatening intended plans and debilitative failure effects that threaten reactive recovery. In this paper we present the CAMP-BDI (Capability Aware, Maintaining Plans) approach, where BDI agents utilize introspective reasoning to modify intended plans in avoidance of anticipated failure. We also describe an extension of this approach to the distributed case, using a decentralized process driven by structured messaging. Our results show significant improvements in goal achievement over a reactive failure recovery mechanism in a stochastic environment with debilitative failure effects, and suggest CAMP-BDI offers a valuable complementary approach towards agent robustness
