We present an evolution of SNePS, the SnePSR (from SNePS with resources) knowledge representation/reasoner system. SnePSR is an intelligent resource-bounded reasoner that allows several resource spending strategies. Since no a priori commitments are made about the way resources are spent, the process of consuming resources can be used to model non-omniscient, non-exhaustive reasoners. SnePSR combines the introduction of resources with the capability to produce conditional answers, which explicitly reveals the impediments that are responsible for the absence of a definite answer. SnePSR avoids two problems that most of the programs, trying to behave intelligently, suffer from: (1) never take into account the fact that reasoning resources are limited; (2) remain silent whenever a definite answer cannot be produced. After briefly presenting how the characteristics that distinguish SNePSR have been incorporated into SNePS we present some case studies of interactions with SNePSR demonstrating some of the system's features. |
