Answer:
Goal-based decision making is goal generation together with goal-based planning
This decomposition of decision making in goal generation and planning raises several
questions, such as:
– How to represent beliefs? How to represent obligations? In this paper we represent
beliefs and obligations by rules, following the dominant tradition in deontic logic
(see e.g. [26,27]).
– How to develop a normative decision theory based on belief and obligation rules?
In this paper we introduce a qualitative decision theory, based on belief (B) and
obligation (O) rules.
