One effect of this ability is that the agent may gener?ate a substantial number of goals, but only a small number of these will be relevant at any one time. Therefore, there is a need for some heuristic mechanism to control an agent's reasoning attention. Such a mechanism is presented in this paper; alarms. Alarms serve to focus the attention of the agent on the most salient goals, and thereby avoid unnecessary reasoning. In this way, a resource-bounded agent can employ modem planning methods to effectiveness","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"17","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5n61t0rb","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Timothy","middle_name":"J.","last_name":"Norman","name_suffix":"","institution":"University College London","department":""},{"first_name":"Derek","middle_name":"","last_name":"Long","name_suffix":"","institution":"University College London","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1995-01-01T13:00:00-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/33114/galley/24175/download/"}]}
