Abstract
In this paper we show how a formal semantics can be given to reasoning processes in meta-level architectures that reason about (object level) knowledge states and changes of them. Especially the attention is focused on the upward and downward reflections in these architectures. Temporalized epistemic logic is used to specify meta-level reasoning processes and the outcomes of these.
