“Society of Mind” Cognitive Architecture

This paper describes the design and development of six tiered Society of Mind Cognitive Architecture (SMCA). SMCA model designed that relies on mind as a control system, and uses “Society of Agents” metaphor.” Society of Agents” describes collective behaviours of simple and intelligent agents. “Society of Mind” is more than a collection of taskoriented and deliberative agents; it is a powerful concept for mind research and can benefit from the use of metacognition. This research uses the concept of metacognition as a powerful catalyst for control, unify and self-reflection in a cognitive architecture. SMCA model has designed and implemented for six layers which includes reflexive, reactive, deliberative (BDI), learning (Q-learner), metacontrol and metacognition layers. Important issues in developing Society of Mind Cognitive Architectures include task effectiveness, goal achievement, and the ability to perform well in novel situations.
