An agent acting in the world generally needs to spend some time and other resources on deliberation, to assess the quality of the various plans of action available to it. Determining which deliberation actions to perform is the metareasoning problem, in which the agent needs to reason about the reasoning it will perform. This chapter discusses how to formulate variants of the metareasoning problem as computational problems, and shows that these computational problems are generally hard.
Keywords: metareasoning problem, deliberation, formal computational problems
