Cognitive architectures for affect and motivation (2010)
Journal Article
Davis, D. N. (2010). Cognitive architectures for affect and motivation. Cognitive Computation, 2(3), 199-216. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12559-010-9053-4

General frameworks of mind map across tasks and domains. By what means can a general architecture know when it has adapted to a specific task, a particular environment or a specific state of a previously known environment? Our current work on this th...

Robo-CAMAL: A BDI Motivational Robot (2010)
Journal Article
Davis, D., & Gwatkin, J. (2010). Robo-CAMAL: A BDI Motivational Robot. Paladyn, 1(2), 116-129. https://doi.org/10.2478/s13230-010-0010-4

Motivation is a central concept in the development of autonomous agents and robots. This paper describes an architecture that uses a psychological BDI model of reasoning, combined with a distributed multi-level model of motivation. The robot controll...

 A "Society of Mind" cognitive architecture based on the principles of artificial economics (2010)
Journal Article
Davis, D. N., & Venkatamuni, V. M. (2010).  A "Society of Mind" cognitive architecture based on the principles of artificial economics. International journal of artificial life research, 1(1), 51-71. https://doi.org/10.4018/jalr.2010102104

This research investigates the concept of mind as a control system using the "Society of Agents" metaphor, whereby the whole is described as the collective behavior of simple and intelligent agents. This powerful concept for mind research benefits fr... Read More about  A "Society of Mind" cognitive architecture based on the principles of artificial economics.

Generating and verifying risk prediction models using data mining (2009)
Book Chapter
Davis, D. N., & Nguyen, T. T. (2009). Generating and verifying risk prediction models using data mining. In P. Berka, J. Rauch, & D. Abdelkader Zighed (Eds.), Data mining and medical knowledge management: cases and applications (181-205). IGI Global. https://doi.org/10.4018/978-1-60566-218-3.ch009

Risk prediction models are of great interest to clinicians. They offer an explicit and repeatable means to aide the selection, from a general medical population, those patients that require a referral to medical consultants and specialists. In many m...

Linking perception and action through motivation and affect (2008)
Journal Article
Davis, D. N. (2008). Linking perception and action through motivation and affect. Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Artificial Intelligence, 20(1), 37-60. https://doi.org/10.1080/09528130701472424

Research into cognitive architectures is described within a framework spanning major issues in artificial intelligence and cognitive science. Earlier work on motivation is extended with a cognitive model of reasoning which, together with an affective... Read More about Linking perception and action through motivation and affect.

A multi-agent decision support system for stock trading (2002)
Journal Article
Liu, K., Luo, Y., & Davis, D. N. (2002). A multi-agent decision support system for stock trading. IEEE Network, 16(1), 20-27. https://doi.org/10.1109/65.980541

A distributed problem solving system can be characterized as a group of individual cooperating agents running to solve common problems. As dynamic application domains continue to grow in scale and complexity, it becomes more difficult to control the... Read More about A multi-agent decision support system for stock trading.

Control states and complete agent architectures (2001)
Journal Article
Davis, D. N. (2001). Control states and complete agent architectures. Computational Intelligence, 17(4), 621-650. https://doi.org/10.1111/0824-7935.00167

This paper presents a developing concept of mind defined in terms of external and internal niches. This perspective on mind is described primarily in terms of the niche space of control states and the design space of processes that may support such p...
