Tutorial by Prof. Cesar A. Tacla
Depto. Acadêmico de Informática (DAINF)
Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR/Curitiba), Brazil.

Title: Goal Processing – A practical approach using AgentSpeak/JASON

Date: Sep 26.

Time:  9.00 – 12.00,  it includes a coffee break from 10.00 to 10.30.

Place:  Seminar Room by the MIT Place MIT-huset

ABSTRACT:
The aim of this short-tutorial is to introduce topics related to goal processing in one of the many existing languages for agent-oriented programming (JASON). In the first part, we briefly present concepts related to BDI agents capable of performing practical reasoning: goal types, types of commitment to intentions, and conflicting goals. In the second part, we present how such concepts are implemented in JASON by programming, customizing or extending JASON.
Finally, we discuss some limitations of agent-programming languages when faced to the various elements we expect the agents represent and reason about.

SHORT CV
Cesar Augusto Tacla is a Professor at UTFPR (Curitiba, Brazil), at the Department of Informatics, and he is the leader of the research group MEMENTO. He received his PhD in Computer Science from the Université de Technologie de Compiègne, France, in 2003, and Master of Sciences from the Federal Technological University of Paraná State (Brazil) in 1993. Current research interests include argumentation applied to goal processing in multiagent systems, persuasive negotiation and consensual decision taking. Other interests are in knowledge engineering, modeling and reasoning using ontologies. He has coordinated and participated of various research projects involving multiagent systems in manufacturing simulation and scheduling, ontologies and computer supported collaborative work. He was the Head of Department of Informatics from 2012 to 2014 and an elected member of the University Council from 2014 to 2017.

We are pleased to invite everybody interested to an expert panel on the Societal Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Friday, September 28th, 11:30-13:00, in the foyer (MIT place) of MIT-Huset, Umeå University. The panel is part of the AI Sweden education initiative.

The panelists will be:

• Franziska Klügl, Professor at Örebro University
• Cesar A. Tacla, Professor at the Federal University of Technology of Paraná (Brazil)
• Virginia Dignum, Professor at Umeå University
• Helena Lindgren, Associate Professor at Umeå University

Feel free to spread the word.
We are looking forward to seeing you there!
