Basic Knowledge: Goals

Goals define which plans an agent should try to instantiate and execute.

They can be defined as

• the initial goal, i.e. by convention !main. or
• achievement goals inside plans, e.g. !myplan(90), which means “try to instantiate and execute a plan myplan(N) (with parameter variable N set to 90) in the next cycle”.
