Computational agents to model knowledge - Theory, and practice in visual surveillance

Abstract

In this work the concept of computational agent is located within the methodological framework of levels and domains of description of a calculus in the context of different usual paradigms in Artificial Intelligence (symbolic, situated, connectionist, and hybrid). Emphasis in the computable aspects of agent theory is put, leaving open the possibility to the incorporation of other aspects that are still pure cognitive nomenclature without any computational counterpart of equivalent semantic richness. These ideas are currently being implemented on semi-automatic video-surveillance. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
