2. RBG 6/9/2005 2 IPTO’s Approach  A cognitive system is one that  can reason, using substantial amounts of appropriately represented knowledge  can learn from its experience so that it performs better tomorrow than it did today  can explain itself and be told what to do  can be aware of its own capabilities and reflect on its own behavior  can respond robustly to surprise Developing Cognitive Systems: Systems that know what they’re doing Approved for Public Release, Distribution Unlimited (TIO case # 3004)
