Prediction in Adaptive Intelligent Systems Architectures

Prediction in Adaptive Intelligent Systems Architectures

While the knowledge base in AIS can probably anticipate some of the possible happenings, the system was designed more as reactive rather than predictive. The dynamic control architecture cycle is a simple plan-schedule-execute, where the plans are meant to handle situations that the system thinks need attention. Granted, the plans generated could include some predictive factors, but, in general, they are meant as simple courses of actions for handling past occurences. Our intuition is further confirmed by their implementation of an asynchronous I/O subsystem which can add new information from outside events to the knowledge base at any time. This is information that the system does not bother to (or can not) predict.

We should mention, however, that all the plans (i.e. agendas) generated by the system are meant to achieve some goal. The system is, therefore, implicitly, predicting that the execution of its agenda will have the desired effects. This might or might not be the case.
