JAM

Abstract

JAM is a hybrid intelligent agent architecture that draws upon the theories and ideas of the Procedural Reasoning System (PRS), Structured Circuit Semantics (SCS), and Act plan interlhtgua. Furthermore, JAM draws upon the implementation pragmatics of the University of Michigan’s and SRI Internatlonal’s implementation of PRS (UMPRS and PRS-CL, respectively). JAM provides rich and extensive plan and procedural representations, metalevel and utility-based reasoning over multiple simultaneous goals, and goal-driven and event-driven behavior that are an amalgam of all of the sources listed above. The JAM agent architecture also provides an agentGo primitive function utilizing Java’s object serialization mechanism to provide widely-supported mobility capabilities.
