ORGANIZATION
The term organization refers to the way in which the
architecture is itself organized. Since all the architectures are very
different the terms are used in a rather loose manner in an effort to
describe the flavor of the particular architecture. The different
types are:
- Centralized
- There is a central controler or loop of control which is solely
responsible for determining the course of actions. All facets of the
architecture are handled by the central controller.
- Modular
- The architecture is divided into several modules, each one of
which is in charge of a particular aspect of the cognitive task (e.g.
NLP, planning, execution).
- Distributed
- There is no central controller and no modules. The whole
architecutre handles all cognitive tasks, where it is difficult to
determine which part of the architecture are doing what (e.g.
connectionist architectures).
