Explaining Decisions in Adaptive Intelligent Systems Architectures

Guardian, an AIS agent, has been designed to perform medical dianoses as part of its functionality. In its BB1 knowledge base, it has domain knowledge about the respiratory system, and can use this knowledge to reason about probable causes of symptoms. When this reasoning task is being performed, it is a task that is scheduled just like any other task. It is not clear whether the actual inference algorithm is part of BB1 or impemented on top of it. The diagnoses are probably traces of the reasoning, since no NLP is involved. Query answering was not addressed directly but given this ability to construct diagnoses and the inherent taskability of the architecture, the capability is probably quite feasible.
