Extension of the Blackboard Architecture with Common Properties and Generic Rules
Jonathan Rivard, Jeremy Straub

TL;DR
This paper enhances the Blackboard Architecture by introducing common properties and generic rules, enabling more efficient modeling of organizational relationships and improving system reusability and performance.
Contribution
It proposes two novel concepts, common properties and generic rules, to extend the Blackboard Architecture for better modeling and system efficiency.
Findings
Improved modeling of organizational relationships.
Reduced storage and processing through reuse.
Enhanced system performance with new concepts.
Abstract
The Blackboard Architecture provides a mechanism for embodying data, decision making and actuation. Its versatility has been demonstrated across a wide number of application areas. However, it lacks the capability to directly model organizational, spatial and other relationships which may be useful in decision-making, in addition to the propositional logic embodied in the rule-fact-action network. Previous work has proposed the use of container objects and links as a mechanism to simultaneously model these organizational and other relationships, while leaving the operational logic modeled in the rules, facts and actions. While containers facilitate this modeling, their utility is limited by the need to manually define them. For systems which may have multiple instances of a particular type of object and which may build their network autonomously, based on sensing, the reuse of logical…
