Description: "The book introduces a BDI logic called LORA (Logic of Rational Agents). In addition to the BDI component, LORA contains a temporal component, which allows one to represent the dynamics of how agents and their environments change over time, and an action component, which allows one to represent the actions that agents perform and the effects of the actions.

The book shows how LORA can be used to capture many components of a theory of rational agency, including such notions as communication and cooperation."--BOOK JACKET.
