A COMPUTATIONAL TOOL TO MODEL INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS
José A. S. Guerrero, Antônio S. R. Gomes, Ricardo Gudwin · 1999
: This paper presents the implementation of a computational tool for modeling intelligent systems under the paradigms of computational semiotics. It uses, as a modeling artifact, the framework given by object networks and mathematical objects (Gudwin 1996). Several aspects of the system dynamics, characteristic topology and selection mechanisms are tackled in detail, aiming at a robust architecture for object network simulation in real-world applications. Keywords: Computational Semiotics, Modeling Intelligent System, Object Network. 1 INTRODUCTION The role of Semiotics within intelligent systems development and implementation is being recently studied as an important foundation paradigm able to provide a future basis for a general theory of intelligent systems (Albus 1997). Within many possible interactions between Semiotics and Intelligent Systems, we detach Computational Semiotics, i.e., the attempt of emulating the semiosis cycle within a digital computer. The main paradigm beh...
