Network Representation in the Adaptive Intelligent Systems Architecture

Network Representation in the Adaptive Intelligent Systems Architecture

The symbolic world model or global database in AIS is formed from a BB* conceptual network. Within this representation, subnetworks can represent actions, events, and control plans through symbolic abstraction. A supervisor can use a built-in editor to add application-specific knowledge (of both facts and strategies). The generality of the conceptual network representation permits encoding complete knowledge from different problem domains, enhancing multi-faceted expertise. The network-type representation facilitates explanation as well, but the actual acquisition of all of this knowledge is an important unresolved issue.

The BB* representation is uniform and declarative, and it provides universal access. The generality of the network representation can also incorporate meta-knowledge, through its representation of plans.
