Intelligent behavior is the selection of actions based on knowledge. The design of the Fuzzy Adaptive Survivability Tool (FAST) agents and their intelligent behavior is explained. A FAST agent uses Belief- Desire-Intention (BDI) logic as the reasoning framework to decide on desirable response plans. These decisions are both context-sensitive to take into account the changes in the network status and costsensitive to avoid the risk of collateral damage. A realworld scenario, which shows how the FAST agents choose desirable responses to mitigate scanning worm traffic, is also presented.
