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.
