Procedural Reasoning System (PRS) architecture for agent-mediated behavioral interventions

We present an architecture in support of intelligent agent-mediated, behavioral interventions in special education programs for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The proposed architecture is a derivative of the Procedural Reasoning System (PRS) architecture with representative, inter-pretative, reasoning, knowledge-based, and procedural control components abstracted from the physical and locomotoric aspects of the agent´s placement in the environment. The architecture is designed to serve as the unifying foundation for virtual, mixed reality and embodied implementations, so its behavior-oriented control, reasoning, knowledge base, and inference mechanisms are designed as abstractive.
