A New Technique of Blackboard Architecture in Decision-Making for Timber Harvesting

Abstract

A new technique of Blackboard architecture is presented herein, the implementation of a system that dynamically decides its action based on certain reasons that correspond to the problem-solving plan and strategies. We describe the principal elements of the blackboard; the design of domain and control knowledge sources (KSs). The mechanism of problem-solving uses a blackboard on how domain and control KSs integrate to solve the problem. The concept being used and the problem that they applied is supported by the trigger and feasible conditions as well as an adaptive scheduler that decides its own actions corresponding to the current interest of problem-solving at that particular time. The implementation of these new concepts on the blackboard is presented in timber harvesting decision-making for sustainable forest management.
