An Architecture for Autonomous Agents

My work in color perception and color naming can be seen as an instance of symbol grounding [Harnad 1990], which is a methodology for providing artificial agents with an ``understanding'' of the world around them, and an inherent meaningfulness for the symbols they use. This appendix describes joint work with Henry H. Hexmoor and Stuart C. Shapiro in architectures for intelligent autonomous agents, which is to appear as [Lammens et al. 1994]. The text below is reproduced verbatim from the text submitted for the proceedings of the ``NATO Advanced Study Institute on the Biology and Technology of Intelligent Autonomous Agents'', held in Trento, Italy, March 1-12, 1993, which is referred to as ``the current workshop'' below.
