CONTEXT-AWARE AGENTS - The 6Ws Architecture
Juan Carlos Augusto, John O’Donoghue · 2009
Software agents have been designed and implemented to function within limited context-aware capabilities. For an agent to function correctly and efficiently it should contain sufficient knowledge and reasoning resources enabling them to process large quantities of implicit information conveyed through an explicit description. Presented in this position paper is an introduction of the 6Ws agent-based architecture which encompasses key reasoning capabilities which are not adequately supported by existing BDI frameworks but have been recognized as highly relevant for the development of Ambient Intelligent systems. 1
