Limited Response Time
An agent rarely has an unbounded amount of time to take actions in response
to an environmental event. This limits the amount of processing required
before taking an action, and usually also limits the amount of knowledge
brought to bear. As a result, many architectures turn to either interruptible processing or situated action. However, the
agent must still act as rationally
as possible, given the time allowed, according to some bounded rationality
constraint.
The following architectures consider the agent's bounded response time:
