Serial Processing

Serial processing occurs sequentially. There is an explicit order in which operations occur and in general the results of one action are known before a next action is considered. Serial processing systems may mimic the action of parallel systems, albeit with a concurrent (and usually serious) loss in efficiency. Compare to parallel processing.

These architectures exhibit serial processing components:

Plan-then-Compile Architecture (THEO)
Planning and Learning Architecture (Prodigy)
Meta-Reasoning Architecture (MAX)
A Basic Integrated Agent (Homer)
Problem Space Architecture (Soar)
Real-Time, Decision-Theoretic Architecture (RALPH-MEA)
