RT Conference Proceedings SR 00 A1 Herzig, Andreas A1 Perrussel, Laurent A1 Xiao, Zhanhao A1 Zhang, Dongmo T1 Refinement of intentions YR 2016 SP 558 OP 563 K1 Intentions - Shoham’s database - Bratman’s theory AB According to Bratman, future-directed intentions are high-level plans. We view such plans as high-level actions that can typically not be executed directly: they have to be progressively refined until executable basic actions are obtained. Higher- and lower-level actions are linked by the means-end relation, alias instrumentality relation. In this paper we extend Shoham’s database perspective of Bratman’s theory by the notions of refinement and instrumentality.
