Embodying the JACK Agent Architecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Agent-based models of human operators rarely include explicit representations of the timing and accuracy of perception and action, although their accuracy is sometimes implicitly modelled by including random noise for observations and actions. In many situations though, the timing and accuracy of the person’s perception and action significantly influence their overall performance on a task. Recently many cognitive architectures have been extended to include perceptual/motor capabilities, making them embodied, and they have since been successfully used to test and compare interface designs. This paper describes the implementation of a similar perceptual/motor system that uses and extends the JACK agent language. The resulting embodied architecture has been used to compare GUIs representing telephones, but has been designed to interact with any mouse-driven Java interface. The results clearly indicate the impact of poor design on performance, with the agent taking longer to perform the task on the more poorly designed telephone. Initial comparisons with human data show a close match, and more detailed comparisons are underway.

A Comparison of JACK Intelligent Agents and the Open Agent Architecture
The popularity of agents has given rise to many Agent Architectures. Each of these architectures have different approaches to agency. The approaches have different strengths and weaknesses in the support they provide for different aspects of agency. This paper compares the support provided by two Agent Architectures, JACK Intelligent Agents and the Open Agent Architecture, for BDI Agents, Teamw...
متن کاملA “Conciousness”-Based Architecture for a Functioning Mind
Here we describe an architecture for an autonomous software agent designed to model a broad spectrum of human cognitive and affective functioning. In addition to featuring “consciousness,” the architecture accommodates perception, several forms of memory, emotions, actionselection, deliberation, ersatz language generation, several forms of learning, and metacognition. One such software agent, I...
متن کاملA Context-aware Architecture for Mental Model Sharing through Semantic Movement in Intelligent Agents
Recent studies in multi-agent systems are paying increasingly more attention to the paradigm of designing intelligent agents with human inspired concepts. One of the main cognitive concepts driving the core of many recent approaches in multi agent systems is shared mental models. In this paper, we propose an architecture for sharing mental models based on a new concept called semantic movement....
متن کاملJack-in-the-Net: Adaptive Networking Architec- ture for Service Emergence
In this paper, we propose a radically new paradigm of the adaptive networking architecture for service emergence: Jack–in–the–Net (Ja–Net). In the proposed architecture, services are implemented by a collection of multiple entities called cyber-entities. These cyber-entities have functionality related to their service and follow simple behavior rules (e.g., migration, reproduction, energy excha...
