ASYNCHRONOUS DATA STREAM FRAMEWORK

摘要

An architecture comprising a hardware layer, a data collection layer and an execution layer lays the foundation for a behavioral layer that can asynchronously access abstracted data. A plurality of data sensors asynchronously collect data which is thereafter abstracted so as to be usable by one or more behavioral modules simultaneously. Each of the behaviors can be asynchronously executed as well as dynamically modified based on the collected abstracted data. Moreover, the behavior modules themselves are structured in a hierarchical manner among one or more layers such that outputs of behavior module associated with a lower layer may be the input to a behavior module of a higher letter. Conflicts between outputs of behavior modules are arbitrated and analyzed so as to conform with an overall mission objective.
