Decision-making in the cognitive architecture SiMA

In a cognitive architecture, decision-making is the task that processes information from sensor data and stored knowledge to get appropriate action plans and actuator commands. Its aim is to make a decision in a given situation based upon available options and current goals of the system. In this paper, the decision-making process of the cognitive architecture SiMA is presented. Its unique features are the comprehensive evaluation of options, an application of case-based reasoning, as well as the management of resources by a two-step decision-making process. The implementation is verified through an artificial world implementation of a use case.
