Call for Papers
Goals (also ​desires​ or ​intentions​) are a unifying structure across a variety of intelligent systems, and reasoning about goals takes many forms. Reasoning about goals includes management of long-term behavior by setting goals, anticipation of the future to formulate goals, choosing goals by selection among priorities, committing to goals by taking action, generating expectations that help to monitor goal progress, assessment of tradeoffs in goal choice, and learning from experience to select appropriate goals. As a result, the broad topic of goal reasoning is studied in diverse subfields of AI such as motivated systems, cognitive science, automated planning, and agent-oriented programming. We aim to bring together researchers from sometimes distinct subfields to encourage cross-disciplinary discussion on goal reasoning.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

Foundations:
·​ ​Theoretical models of goal reasoning or comparisons to other models of autonomy
·​ ​Studies of implicit goals or goal reward/value functions
·​ ​Goal management: including formulation, selection, or optimization
·​ ​Integrating planning or metareasoning with goal management
·​ ​Online goal resolution (e.g., plan repair, replanning, goal deferment, re-goaling)
·​ ​Learning, evaluation, or analysis of goal reasoning systems

Systems:
·​ ​Goals in self-motivated systems, hybrid systems, Belief-Desire-Intention systems, or Goal-Driven Autonomy
·​ ​Multi-agent or distributed goal management
·​ ​Demonstrations or applications of goal reasoning systems
  
 Human Interaction:
·​ ​Interactive goal reasoning, human-machine goal reasoning
·​ ​Conversational or narrative reasoning about goals
·​ ​Explanation and diagnosis of notable objects or events impacting goals

We welcome existing publications from other venues that are appropriate for discussion at this workshop.
