Meta-Reasoning in Adaptive Intelligent Systems Architectures

Meta-Reasoning in Adaptive Intelligent Systems Architectures

An AIS has meta-level knowledge in its global database, and this knowledge allows its meta-reasoning. There is information about which operations to place on the agenda, as well as which operations to ultimately schedule. In addition, the operations available include those which modify perceptual and performance filters. But perhaps the most important type of meta-reasoning involves operators that augment and modify the dynamic control plans.

The ability to freely incorporate meta-knowledge makes it possible for AIS to achieve a measure of self-reflection even though its representation of knowledge is impenetrable. Additionally, traces of reasoning are kept for generating explanations, also a form of self-reflection.
