Abstract The paper investigates how robust layered subsumption is acting both digitally and through functionality embodied in the material of a building system of architecture. We describe a building system with embedded computational control over the building process, with the purpose of arguing how layer...

In this paper we show that an unsupervised two-layered oscillatory neural network with intralayer connections, and a learning rule based on stimulus difference can behave as a Dynamic Link Matching Machine for invariant pattern recognition. We show that this architecture is robust to affine transformations. We call this architecture Oscillatory Dynamic Link Matching (ODLM).

The paper discusses a comprehensive, model-based approach for the design and implementation of intelligent controllers. The system has been implemented in the framework of the Multigraph Architecture. The Multigraph Architecture is a layered system, which includes a parallel, graph computation model, the corresponding execution environment, and software tools supporting the interactive, graphic...

We describe a multi-layered behavior based agent architecture which has been applied to the Robocup domain. Upper layers are used to control the activation and priority of behaviors in layers below, and only the lowest layer interacts directly with the server. The layered approach seems to simplify behavior management. In particular it provides an approach for implementing high level strategic ...

A proper architecture is significant to cope with complex requirements of today’s large-scale Data Warehouses. We compare the assignment of so-called reference architectures with an architecture of dedicated layers to satisfactorily face those requirements. Moreover, we point out additional expenses and resulting advantages of this layered approach.

In this paper, we present the implementation of an autonomous mobile robot controller developed according to the principle of a multi-layered hybrid architecture. This architecture is composed of four layers: sensori-motor, behavioral, sequencing, and strategic. The paper describes its general structure and the function of its main elements. It further analyses the development of an example tas...

This paper briefly describes a scalable architecture for implementing autonomous agents that act in a virtual world created for a computer game and must interact with it by suitably planning and executing actions in a dynamic and notcompletely accessible environment. In particular, we are experimenting a two-pass vertically layered architecture that allows supporting an agent behavior through a...

Model-driven Architecture (MDA) is a software architecture framework proposed by the Object Management Group OMG. MDA emphasises the importance of modelling in the architectural design of software systems. Ontologies are can enhance the modelling aspects here. We present a layered MDA-based modelling approach. We focus on servicebased software and the Web Services platform.

The concepts of Autonomic and Organic Computing (AC/OC) promise to make modern computer systems more secure and easier to manage. In this paper, we extend the observer/controller architecture typically used in AC/OC systems towards a new target area – embedded real-time systems. As a result we present a two-layered management architecture. We discuss aspects of internal communication and design...
