Brief Description
My research is about rational agents, multi-agent systems and learning. Particularly I have been interested in intentional learning in BDI models of rationality, i.e., the way an agent learns to form and abandon intentions based on her/his experience; and recently in agent mining, or more precisely, in the way learning is performed by a multi-agent system where training examples are distributed. I’m also interested in formal methods for expressing theories about learning and rational agency. My collaborations are mainly about the application of these issues in simulations: double auction markets, urban mobility; extortion; and multi-modal decision making. I had been also interested in reactive agents and behavior networks. Of course, many, many years ago I was interested in Expert Systems, Lisp, and Logic Programming.

Research Projects
- Learning and Intention Reconsideration in the BDI model of rational agency. The BDI model of rational agency formalizes practical reasoning in terms of Beliefs, Desires and Intentions. Intentions are conceived as partial hierarchical plans an agent commits with in a certain degree. Reconsideration policies and Commitment principles expresses when it is rational for an agent to drop such commitment . In this project, we study formal methods to reason about reconsideration and commitment in AgentSpeak(L), an abstract agent oriented programming language (as implemented in Jason). The main idea is that reconsideration is a dynamic, non monotonic process approachable via intentional learning, as implemented in our library JILDT. Funded by CONACyT, México. MX$ 355, 000.00
