Incorporating a Runtime Interactive Visualization into Intelligent Agent.
Aizhong Lin, Mao Lin Huang · International Conference on Internet Computing · 2002
Two reasons motivate us to incorporate a realtime interactive visualization into intelligent agents. Firstly a visual presentation gives users a better understanding of the runtime works that an agent is currently doing, so that they can evaluate the performance of an agent through the visual user interface. Furthermore, a realtime interactive visualizationprovides functions to view the inner state transitions of an intelligent agent. Secondly a real-time interactive visualization can support direct user interference while an agent is running. For example, the user of an intelligent agent may want to interrupt the running of the agent to rectify its process if theyfeel the plan chosen by the agent is not good enough to achieve a goal or they believe an agent couldfail to achieve a goal. This paper describes the way of incorporating a real-time interactive visualizationinto intelligentagent.
