An Overview of the AIS Architecture

An Adaptive Intelligent System (AIS) is defined as: "a knowledge-based system that reasons about and interacts with other dynamic entities in real time". AIS is really a generic architecture which provides several modules and a structure on which to build an AIS system. An example AIS system is Guardian. The basic motivations behind AIS were to provide a real time knowledge system with small mean time between failures, which could focus its attention to particularly urgent situations, could follow trends and extrapolate from them, could make fairly good decisions even when the time was limited, and would not be bogged down by an increasing knowledge base.
