Abstract(s)
The ability to respond sensibly to changing and conflicting beliefs
is an integral part of intelligent agency. To this end, we outline the design and
implementation of a Distributed Assumption-based Truth Maintenance System
(DATMS) appropriate for controlling cooperative problem solving in a
dynamic real world multi-agent community. Our DATMS works on the principle
of local coherence which means that different agents can have different
perspectives on the same fact provided that these stances are appropriately
justified. The belief revision algorithm is presented, the meta-level code
needed to ensure that all system-wide queries can be uniquely answered is
described, and the DATMS’ implementation in a general purpose multi-agent
shell is discussed.
