Title: Beliefs in Agent Implementation
Abstract: This paper extends a programming language for implementing cognitive agents with the capability to explicitly represent beliefs and reason about them. In this programming language, the beliefs of agents are implemented by modal logic programs where beliefs are represented by explicit modal operators. A distinction is made between a belief base language that can be used to represent an agent`s beliefs and a belief query language that can be used to express queries to the agent`s belief base. We adopt and modify a tractable proof procedure that decides if a belief query formula is derivable from the belief base of an agent. We show that the presented proof procedure is sound.
