A Specification of the Soar Cognitive Architecture in Z

Abstract

A formal specification of the sixth revision of the Soar architecture in the Z notation was constructed to elucidate and clarify the definition of Soar and to guide its implementation. Soar is a cognitive architecture that has been successfully applied to many domains and has been proposed as an exemplar unified theory of cognition. Z is a model theoretic specification language based in set theory that has syntax and type checking programs available. The specification has a complete coverage of the architecture, a low level of abstraction and a considerable implementation bias.
