Understanding Situated Design Agents

چکیده
This paper presents the beginnings of a formal framework to enhance our understanding of situated design agents. It builds on the function-behaviour-structure (FBS) schema to represent essential concepts of situated designing. Our framework covers different stages in the life-cycle of situated design agents, including their development, testing and usage.

Understanding behaviours of a situated agent: A Markov chain analysis
This paper briefly describes situated agents and constructive memory before modeling the behaviour of such an agent applied in a design optimization domain. Markov analysis is used to represent the dynamic behaviour of the memory system of the agent. It shows that the constructive memory behaves as expected and that reasoning moves from reactive and reflective to reflexive as the agent acquires...
متن کاملCommitment and Effectiveness of Situated Agents
Recent research in real-time Arti cial Intelligence has focussed upon the design of situated agents and, in particular, how to achieve e ective and robust behaviour with limited computational resources. A range of architectures and design principles has been proposed to solve this problem. This has led to the development of simulated worlds that can serve as testbeds in which the e ectiveness o...
متن کاملDescribing Situated Design Agents
Situated design agents are agents built using concepts from situated cognition. As situated design agents are constructive and interactive, we desire a formalism that starts with interaction and works backwards to what representations of structure, behaviour and function such interaction requires. This paper begins the process of providing a formal underpinning to agency that better corresponds...
متن کاملModelling Expertise of Temporary Design Teams
This paper proposes a model of expertise of temporary design teams. We start by outlining a situated view of expertise as being grounded in individual experience, which emphasises its applicability and teleology. We use the construct of a computational agent to model the individual expert. We then show the advantages of the function-behaviour-structure (FBS) schema to represent the knowledge of...
متن کاملA Design Process for Adaptive Behavior of Situated Agents
Engineering non-trivial open multi-agent systems is a challenging task. Our research focusses on situated multi-agent systems, i.e. systems in which agents are explicitly placed in an environment which agents can perceive and in which they can act. Situated agents do not use long-term planning to decide what action sequence should be executed, but select actions based on the locally perceived s...
