382kB PDF file)Computational Framework for and the Realization of Cognitive Agents Providing Intelligent Assistance Capabilities
- Marcin Skowron, Joerg Irran, Brigitte Krenn
- The scope of the presented research covers virtual agents
providing intelligent assistance capabilities for accessing and processing
information from the Internet, domain specific databases and
knowledge repositories. They receive natural language inputs and
communicate findings to their users via a set of task oriented interfaces.
Cognitive agents are conceived to evolve in a response to
the changes of interests, needs and preferences of the users and the
alterations in their environment. We present a virtual embodied cognitive
agents architecture, and a computational framework that allows
their modular and flexible creation, based on a set of components.
The framework supports the creation of an environment for
multiple agents and provides communication mechanisms, used to
share knowledge between the agents. The exemplary assembly of
these building blocks to realize smart assistance applications further
demonstrates the platform's capacity to support development, instantiation
and evaluation of collaborative cognitive agents.
