Abstract

This paper introduces the execution model of a declarative programming language intended for agent applications. Features supported by the language include functional and logic programming idioms, higher-order functions, modal computation, probabilistic computation, and some theorem-proving capabilities. The need for these features is motivated and examples are given to illustrate the central ideas.
