Asynchronous Control in Atlantis

Asynchronous Control in Atlantis

The three layers of the Atlantis architecture run asynchronously at successively longer cycle times (i.e., the control layer has the shortest cycle time and the deliberative layer the longest) and at successively higher levels of abstraction. Their asynchronous operation allows the different level tasks being performed not to interfere with each other. It also allows the architecture to perform tasks in a time scale acceptable for each task. Thus, the control layer could react almost immediately to some change in the environment while the deliberative and sequencing layers could continue their processing without interruption.
