APOC- An Architecture Framework for Complex Agents
نویسنده
چکیده
In this chapter, we introduce an architecture framework called APOC (for “ActivatingProcessing-Observing-Components”) for the analysis, evaluation, and design of complex agents. APOC provides a unified framework for the specification of agent architectures at different levels of abstraction. As such it permits intermediary levels of architectural specification between high-level functional descriptions and low-level mechanistic descriptions that can be used to connect these two levels in a systematic way.

Growing Agents - An Investigation of Architectural Mechanisms for the Specification of “Developing” Agent Architectures
In this paper we investigate various aspects of “developing agent architectures”, i.e., architectures that change over time according to their specification, in the framework architecture APOC. After a brief overview of APOC, we examine and discuss several ways of specifying developing architectures, and present examples of definitions of such architectures in APOC (e.g., Grossberg’s ART networ...

متن کاملA Framework for Evaluating Affective Control
In this paper, we introduce a methodology for determining the utility of agent architectures by comparing them in an architecture framework APOC, which allows for the definition of a notion of “cost induced by an agent architecture”. Using this framework, it is in particular possible to compare the performance of affective agents to that non-affective agents in a unified way taking the cost of ...
متن کاملAPOC - a Framework for Complex Agents
In this paper we use the APOC–an agent architecture framework intended for the analysis and implementation of complex agent architectures–to investigate mechanisms of runtime architecture modification and resource management that allow for the specification of simple architectures which can develop into complex architectures at run time. After a brief overview of APOC, we show how a particular ...
متن کاملArchitectural Mechanisms for the Dynamic Modification of Action Selection Strategies
Action selection is typically a “built-in” feature of agent architectures and hence not subject to change in instantiated architectures. While often (especially in simple agents) this lack of flexibility does not matter, there are circumstances where dynamic adjustments of an action selection strategy are desirable. In this paper, we present an architecture framework, called APOC, that provides...
