Stream-Based Reasoning Support for Autonomous Systems
Fredrik Heintz, Jonas Kvarnström, Patrick Doherty · Frontiers in artificial intelligence and applications · 2010
For autonomous systems such as unmanned aerial vehicles to successfully perform complex missions, a great deal of embedded reasoning is required at varying levels of abstraction. To support the integration and use of diverse reasoning modules we have developed DyKnow, a stream-based knowledge processing middleware framework. By using streams, DyKnow captures the incremental nature of sensor data and supports the continuous reasoning necessary to react to rapid changes in the environment.
