%0 Journal Article %T Intention Scheduling for BDI Agent Systems %A Shung-Bin Yan %A Zu-Nien Lin %A Hsun-Jen Hsu %A Feng-Jian Wang %J Asian Journal of Information Technology %D 2012 %I %X BDI is one of the models in Agent Systems. Currently, most of BDI agents` researches are focused on the ability for agents to dynamically select plans to achieve a goal. There are fewer discussions on Intention Scheduling, the order in which the selected plans are executed. Agents must adapt to dynamical and unpredictable changes. Without a proper scheduling scheme, an agent may repeat unnecessary works, waste valuable resource or even fail the users` expect altogether. In this study, we present an effective intention-scheduling scheme in BDI reasoning process, to make BDI agents more efficient and suitable for execution. %U http://www.medwellonline.net/abstract/?doi=ajit.2005.406.414
