The various execution architectures produce
differing behaviors. The Decision-Theoretic EA, if given enough response time, will produce completely rational behavior by maximizing expected
utility. However, under stricter time constraints, the Condition-Action EA
can produce highly reactive behavior.
The designers discuss an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle implementation,
aimed at surveying and obstacle avoidance. The former usually involves planning tasks, while the latter leads to
invocation of the replanning
architecture. Whether proper behavior can be maintained when more
complex tasks are required remains an open issue.
