		       NEXT WEEK'S CSLI SEMINAR
		      Models of Rational Agency 2
	  Michael Bratman, Martha Pollack, Stan Rosenschein

We will discuss a model of practical reasoning that is intended to
provide part of an answer to the challenge of resource limitations.
In this model, the mental attitudes of belief and desire are not seen
as sufficient for explaining rational behavior: instead, intentions
and plans play a central role.
