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.
