Abstract:
Agents situated in dynamic environments have limited time to deliberate before performing their actions. Cautious agents that deliberate for too long may miss deadlines to accomplish tasks whereas bold agents that deliberate for too little time may behave rashly or miss opportunities. There are several approaches discussed in the literature that rely on meta-level mechanisms to monitor and control the deliberation time. These approaches seem to follow the view that the meta-level mechanism is an external component not constrained by the same resource limitations as the underlying agent’s deliberation mechanism. In this paper, we present an approach to resource bounded metacognition wherein an agent monitors and controls its deliberation and metacognition within the uniform framework of Active Logic.
