Abstract

Our research focuses on highly sophisticated intelligent agents having three key characteristics requiring integration:* Adaptivity. An intelligent agent interacts with--influences and is influenced by--other dynamic entities in its environment. It perceives data from the environment, reasons to interpret perceptions, solve problems, make decisions, etc., acts to affect external entities and to achieve its goals. To keep pace with external events and avoid missing important demands and opportunities for action, the agent performs these functions asynchronously, concurrently, and selectively. Nonetheless, these functions must be integrated. Perception must inform reasoning and action. Reasoning must guide perception and action. Action must feed back on perception and reasoning.
