Over the prior decade, rational organization has turn out to be regarded as a imperative subject in synthetic intelligence. Drawing upon study on rational motion and enterprise in philosophy, good judgment, online game conception, choice idea, and the philosophy of language, this quantity represents a sophisticated, entire state of the art survey of the sphere of rational service provider because it stands this day. It covers the philosophical foundations of rational company, logical and decision-theoretic ways to rational organization, multi-agent facets of rational business enterprise (including speech acts, joint plans, and cooperation protocols), and, eventually, describes a couple of methods to programming rational brokers. even supposing written from the perspective of synthetic intelligence, this interdisciplinary textual content may be of curiosity to researchers in good judgment, mainstream laptop technological know-how, the philosophy of rational motion and organization, and economics.

9 IS THE TASK TOO HARD? Given the enormous diversity in both design space and niche space and our limited understanding of both, one reaction is extreme pessimism regarding our ability to gain significant insights. My own attitude is cautious optimism: let us approach the study from many different directions and with many different methodologies and see what we can learn. Even the discovery that a particular approach does not get very far is an advance in knowledge. In particular, the Cognition and Affect group at Birmingham has been trying to use a combination of philosophical analysis, critical reflection on shared common sense knowledge about human capabilities, analysis of strengths and especially weaknesses in current AI systems, and where appropriate hints from biology, A.

2 Directions for Bounded Optimality Ongoing research on bounded optimality aims to extend the initial results of [39] to more interesting agent designs. In this section, I will sketch some design dimensions and the issues involved in establishing bounded optimality results. RATIONALITY AND INTELLIGENCE 25 The general scheme to be followed involves defining a virtual machine M that runs programs from a class CM. Typically, programs will have a "fixed part" that is shared across some subclass and a ''variable part" that is specific to the individual program.
