Abstract

This paper advocates a new science of intelligence, one that is holistic, multi-disciplinary, oriented to crucial values as health and well-being and able to contribute to the solution of real-world problems. As a starting point we study the interplay between two research disciplines that until now have been hardly related to each other: Ayurveda and multi-agent systems. We consider some possible results of the cross fertilisation like for instance the application of ayurvedic knowledge to improve the skills of practical reasoning agents.
