DAISY: a distributed architecture for intelligent system

Distributed perceptual systems are endowed with different kind of sensors, from which information flows to suitable modules to perform useful elaborations for decisions making. In this paper a new distributed architecture, named "Distributed Architecture for Intelligent SYstem" (DAISY), is proposed. It is based on the concept of co-operating behavioral agents supervised by a "Central Engagement Module". This module integrates the processing of data coming from the behavioral agents with a symbolic level of representation, by the introduction of a "conceptual space" intermediate analogue representation. The DAISY project is under development; experiments on navigation and exploration for an autonomous robot are done to evaluate its performance.
