✦ Synopsis

As part of our work on agent-oriented programming,' we are developing an agent description language. We describe an agent's "mental state" in terms of its knowledge, beliefs, desires, commitments, and abilities. Our goal is not to specify human knowledge, beliefs, etc., but rather to devise a more limited, precise language to facilitate programming agents and interagent communication. We believe that borrowing from our intuition about these commonsense terms will simplify the human designer's job. This article describes a preliminary version of our language. We define a temporal language with modal operators representing knowledge, belief, desire, commitment, and ability. This is a propositional language with quantification over time points and agents only.

Phytochemical terminology*1*Section on Historical Pharmacy, A. Ph. A., Miami meeting, 1931.1An account of the development of phytochemical terminology would, no doubt, afford interesting reading. Those who are interested in this subject may read to advantage Runge’s attempt, made in 1820, and based on the dualistic chemistry of oxygen of that period. (Neueste Phytochemische Entdeckungen zur Begruendung einer wissenschaftlichen Phytochemie: Critische Bemerkungen zieber die jetzt herschende Namenmacherey in der Phytochemie, Chap. 4.) It reveals in striking manner the danger of forcing the growth of a language, even if the underlying principles are thought to be highly scientific. Should the present study develop far enough, the writer may, at some future date, attempt an account of this sort.
