Intelligent Real-Time Problem Solving: Conceptual Analysis of Issues, Ideas and Results.

摘要

Our final report consists of four parts. The first two address the issues as defined by the Air Force in the call for proposals, and as discussed in the kickoff meeting. In the first document, authored by Yoav Shoham and Barbara Hayes-Roth, we propose a neutral framework in which to define the terms and issues involved in IRTPS, and make specific recommendations regarding subsequent stages of the project. The second document, authored by Stanley Rosenschein, Barbara Hayes-Roth and Lee Erman, proposes a similar neutral framework. We then describe our approach to controlling processes intelligently, centered around the notion of agents. In a document authored by Yoav Shoham a general approach to so-called agent-oriented programming is outlines, and in the fourth document, authored by Barbara Hayes-Roth, intelligent real-time agents are discussed in more detail.
