A Function – Behaviour – Structure View of Social Situated Design Agents
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper proposes a comprehensive schema to represent an agent’s social knowledge using the Function – Behaviour – Structure (FBS) schema. Although this schema has originally been developed to represent knowledge about design objects, it is sufficiently abstract to also describe knowledge about agents. This paper shows how such an FBS view can be useful to support the interaction of situated design agents.

Modelling 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 کاملUnderstanding Situated Design Agents
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.
متن کاملComputational Modeling of Temporary Design Teams
This paper presents a framework for a computational model of temporary design teams (TDTs). The framework is based on the situated Function-Behaviour-Structure (FBS) ontology, which is used to describe the different aspects of a TDT. This paper demonstrates how TDTs can be represented and reasoned about in terms of the FBS variables. A situated social agent’s architecture is introduced. At the ...
متن کاملA Function-behaviour-structure Ontology of Processes
This paper presents how the function-behaviour-structure (FBS) ontology can be used to represent processes despite its original focus on representing objects. The FBS ontology provides a uniform framework for classifying processes and includes higher-level semantics in their representation. We show that this ontology supports a situated view of processes based on a model of three interacting wo...
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...
