Intelligent Response to Interrupts and Failures in Soar

Intelligent Response to Interrupts and Failures in Soar

Soar is not constrained by a linear search through a single problem space but may actually change context as the need arises. Though Soar has a fixed decision cycle it does not have explicit subgoaling. Rather, the goal stack arises dynamically through problem solving. Any production can potentially fire at any time, allowing Soar to be distracted from its current goal. A production can create a new problem space in which Soar refocuses its attention and addresses new subgoals. This distractablility allows Soar to attend to high priority situations without having to complete the current goal resolution processing.
