Taskable Architectures
Taskability is the capability of an architecture to accept requests for, or
specifications of, activities and to integrate these tasks into its goal
structure while the system is running. Taskability can vary widely in scope between architectures. Some architectures facilitate the additions of new
types of tasks in new conceptual or physical domains. Other architectures are
oriented more towards the requesting of pre-specified types of tasks.
It should be noted that some architectures allow for the specification of tasks
at "compile-time", that is goals are added to the knowledge base before the
system is actually running. This does not correspond to our concept of
taskability.
