Efficiency

The efficiency of an architecture is its ability to do a task within certain time and space constraints. Furthermore, it defines the bottlenecks that might arise in a system when doing certain tasks. Most of the architectures we deal with here are used with agents that exist in the real world, and so most of the actions performed by these agents must be guaranteed within real-time.

Use the following list to see an evaluation of any given architecture along the dimension of efficency:

Subsumption Architecture
Heterogeneous Asynchronous Architecture (Gat)
Plan-then-compile Architecture (Theo)
Planning and Learning Architecture (Prodigy)
Modular-Integrated Architecture (ICARUS)
Adaptive Intelligent Systems (AIS)
A Basic Integrated Agent (Homer)
Situated Action & Planned Action (Teton)
Problem-Space Architecture (Soar)
Real-Time, Decision-Theoretic Architecture (RALPH-MEA)
Entropy Reduction Engine Architecture (ERE)
