The New Goal System (NGS version 3) is a Soar library to support faster development of Soar agents by allowing programming at a higher level of abstraction than that allowed by using Soar alone. NGS uses Tcl macros and added Soar productions to help implement these concepts within a Soar agent. Through these macros, NGS incorporates elements of encapsulation to hide many of the low-level Soar details of object creation, and provides interfaces for matching to standard object structures such as goals and operators.

Benefits of NGS include

• Forest of Goals: Ability to have multiple active goals at once
• Actions from different active goals are interleaved by default
• Tcl macros provide an API to make writing NGS code easy
• Can be used with both JSoar and CSoar
