In contrast, the Concurrent METATEM language, being based upon executable formal specifications, presents a close link between the theory and implementation, yet lacks some of the features considered central to the representation of rational agents. In this paper, we introduce a hybrid approach combining the direct execution of Concurrent METATEM with elements of rationality from the BDI framework. We show how this system can capture a range of agent behaviours, while retaining many of the advantages of executable specifications.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/47","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/0047.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/47.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/bibtex/47","volume":{"slug":"1997","title":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1997","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/","year":1997,"location":"Nagoya, Japan","dates":"","editors":"Martha E.
