....in the Cognition and Affect group has focused on differing agent architectures (based on different simplistic models of biologically and psychologically plausible mechanisms) in a number of simulated environments. Parallel to this has been the development of an information processing architecture [19, 6], that allows many different coexisting components with complex interactions. Some processes are automatic (pre attentive) in the sense that all changes are triggered directly; for example reflexes (whether learnt or innate) that bypass normal processing. Other processes at a similar level are ....

....an effector and retrieve some object or agent from a possibly hazardous situation. In a full implementation of the architecture discussed in the introduction, it could monitor (and perhaps control) the types of deliberative processes of the reflective agents, this is what our earlier work [6] has termed inner perception and inner action. This metadeliberation arises from an interaction of the behaviour of the overall agent, and its designated (or acquired) niche role. We consider this meta management level processing of the reflectives to be the most abstract level of agent ....
