A first-order coalition logic for BDI-agents

摘要

Coalition logic (CL) enables us to model the strategic abilities and specify what a group of agents can achieve whatever the other agents do. However, some rational mental attitudes of the agents are beyond the scope of CL such as the prestigious beliefs, desires and intentions (BDI) which is an interesting and useful epistemic notion and has spawned substantial amount of studies in multi-agent systems. In this paper, we introduce a first-order coalition BDI (FCBDI) logic for multi-agent systems, which provides a semantic glue that allows the formal embedding and interaction of BDI, coalition and temporal operators in a first-order language. We further introduce a semantic model based on the interpreted system model and present an axiomatic system that is proved sound and complete with respect to the semantics. Finally, it is shown that the computational complexity of its model checking in finite structures is PSPACE-complete.
