Agent deliberation in a sensor rich world
Liz Sonenberg · Hybrid Intelligent Systems · 2003
Exploitation of hand crafted domain knowledge has lead to the construction of many successful multiagent systems, successful in the sense that they exhibit complex and appropriate run-time behaviours in a dynamic, somewhat unpredictable, environment. As the environments where such systems can operate evolve to support more - and more intelligent - sensors, new design considerations arise. For example, opportunities for new strategies to balance designed-in knowledge with knowledge accessible at run time from the environment, and approaches to selecting useful levels of abstraction for encoding situational information. I will discuss some successes and present some challenges.
