Abstract:
Self-diagnostics and prognostics in multi-agent
processing systems is explored in the context of self-soothing
concepts in Neuropsychology. This is one of the first steps to
facilitate Systems-Level Thinking in AI. Autonomous or semiautonomous
system must be able to understand, at a systemwide
level, how every part of the system is influencing the other
parts of the system. This drives the need for complete selfassessment
within the AI system. The use of emotional memory
and autonomic nervous state recall can be used to provide
contextual cognition for system-level diagnostic and prognostics
in large-scale systems. The use of an Artificial Cognitive
Neural Framework with intelligent information software agents
can be utilized to emulate emotional learning to facilitate selfsoothing,
which equates to self healing in artificial neural
systems. This paper describes the architecture and
specifications of software agents that are used to provide selfsoothing
and self-healing constructs for intelligent systems.
