ab: Summary: In this paper we propose an architecture for deliberative agents
    based on progressive reasoning. When an agent receives a query, it
    tries to satisfy it by building an answer based on its current
    knowledge. Depending on the available time or the urgency of the
    requirement the agent can produce answers with different levels of
    quality. Agents could build progressively their answers with the
    information they receive from perception or during the dialogue with
    other agents. We assume that in the real world normally it is better to
    receive an answer with poor quality than no answer. The answer can be
    good enough for the receiver or the receiver can spend more time to
    wait for a better answer. Autonomy implies taking the best decision
    with the available information, avoiding blocking situations and no
    action.
