A Dynamic Environment
Dynamic environments are ones which are very susceptible to change,
especially change not under an agent's control. It may be important
for the agent to note these changes if they could affect the agent in
some way. This is closely related to several other characteristics of
the environment or the agent body such as
imperfect knowledge and predictability. If something about the
world changes and the agent is not aware, some of its knowledge may no
longer be correct. Another related topic is
reality . A typical dynamic environment is the real,
people-populated world. Many architecture attempt to handle a dynamic
environment through learning .
Architectures which function in a mostly dynamic environment:
Architectures which function in a mostly static environment:
- Prodigy (J. Carbonell, C. Knoblock and S. Minton)
