Abstract

Cognitive architectures allow the emergence of behaviors in autonomous agents. Their design is commonly based on multidisciplinary theories and models that explain the mechanisms underlying human behaviors, as well as on standards and principles used in the development of software systems. The formal and rigorous description of such architectures, however, is a software engineering practice that has been barely implemented. In this paper, we present the formal specification of a neuroscience-inspired cognitive architecture. Which ensures its proper development and subsequent operation, as well as the communication of its operational and architectural assumptions unambiguously. Particularly, we use the Real-Time Process Algebra to formally describe its architectural components and emerging behaviors.
