ABSTRACT
The stage-based model of personal informatics [4] defines a long-term maintenance phase during which a person tries to maintain a behavior change. Literature review and a survey of long-term goal trackers inspired us to create Sisyphorest, a goal-tracking system for the maintenance phase that supports the user by transforming its visualization in response to trends in data. We describe the system and discuss a preliminary evaluation.

Intention Progression with Maintenance Goals
AAMAS '23: Proceedings of the 2023 International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent SystemsOne of the key advantages of Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) agents [7] is their ability to pursue multiple goals in parallel. When multiple goals are pursued at the same time, an agent has to decide which of its intentions should be progressed, and if the ...
Estimating the Progress of Maintenance Goals
AAMAS '15: Proceedings of the 2015 International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent SystemsWe extend our earlier work on quantifying the level of completeness of achievement goals in BDI agents [8], to encompass maintenance goals. We both characterize what it means for a maintenance goal to be partially complete in terms of its relevancy, and ...
Quantifying the progress of goals in intelligent agents
Deliberation over goals is a fundamental feature of intelligent agent systems. In this article we provide pragmatic but principled mechanisms for quantifying the level of completeness of goals in a belief-desire-intention (BDI) agent. Our approach ...
