Abstract

This paper defines a meta-reasoning model for real-time agents. The purpose of this model is to increase the adaptability in this kind of agents. This model allows to adapt the agent’s behavior as well as the agent’s own reasoning process. The application of this model to an specific real-time agent architecture is also presented.
